Name of Project “Flare Gas Recovery system (FGRS) at Barauni Refinery of Indian Oil Corporation Limited” at Barauni, District: Begusarai, Bihar by M/s Barauni Refinery, Indian Oil Corporation Limited.
Location of the Project (Village / District / State) Barauni, District: Begusarai, Bihar.
Brief Description of the Project IOCL refinery at Barauni is planning to implement flare gas recovery system (FGRS) and use that recovered flared gas as a fuel for meeting process heating requirement along with the existing fuels, such as, Fuel gas (FG) and internal Fuel oil (IFO). This measure will reduce the quantity of hydrocarbon flaring and control environmental pollution. Hydrocarbon loss in refinery flare is a direct energy loss. The object of recovery of flare gas is to minimize hydrocarbon loss by recovering flare gas from main flare system and re-use as fuel gas in process furnaces and thereby increasing the efficiency of the overall system by avoiding excess flaring. While utilizing the recovered flare gas, it actually helps in reducing the quantity of existing IFO consumption for the process heating requirement. The project activity entails installation of a Flare Gas Recovery System (FGRS) in order to recover maximum low pressure off gas which was flared. The Flare Gas Recovery System (FGRS) will be a skid mounted packaged unit and will be installed between Flare Knock Out drum (KOD) and Flare stack.
