Against stiff international competitive bidding, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has bagged a major order for Sulphur Recovery Unit from Indian Oil (IOCL).
With this order, BHEL has made an entry into the downstream oil & gas process package business. The order is worth Rs. 400 crore which envisages setting up a 525 TPD Sulphur Recovery Unit at IOCL’s Paradip Refinery in Odisha.
BHEL's diversification strategy into non-coal based business areas has begun paying dividends and this is a milestone order for BHEL as part of its new growth areas initiative. With the execution of this order, BHEL will establish itself as an LSTK (Lump Sum Turn Key Player) for process packages in the downstream oil & gas sector.
BHEL’s scope in the contract includes project management, residual process design, detailed engineering, procurement, manufacturing, supply, testing, erection, construction, commissioning and performance guarantee test run of the 525 TPD Sulphur Recovery Unit. The project is scheduled for completion in 25 months.
