1.0 Introduction
The focus in technological advancement in Refining technology is now shifting towards upgradation of the bottom
of the barrel. The slurry based Resid hydrocracking process is emerging as “Technology of the Future” for up-
gradation of bottom of the barrel while meeting future product specifications.
IOCL has taken a strategic initiative to develop Slurry bed Resid Hydrocracking Technology (indResid H) and
established proof-of-concept with in-house catalyst system. IOCL and L&T-Heavy Engineering have jointly
worked on the process development of demo plant to be put up at their IOCL-Panipat refinery, which will enable
to scale-up and subsequent demonstration and commercialization of the indResid H technology.
The objective of indResidH Pilot Plant is to convert Vacuum Resid (VR) to middle distillates meeting the Euro-
VI/BS-VI specifications through hydro processing route. The Demo plant is designed to process 850 kg/hr
Vacuum Resid (VR) as fresh feed.
