CPCL resumes full ops at 11.5 MT refineries near Chennai


Chennai Petroleum Corp Ltd (CPCL) today said it has resumed full operations at its 11.5 million tonnes refineries near Chennai that had been shut down three weeks back due to heavy rains and water logging. 

CPCL, a subsidiary of Indian Oil Corp (IOC), had shut its refineries in Manali and Nagapattinam, near Chennai, on December 2 and 6, respectively due to heavy rains and water logging.

“The operations in the Crude Distillation Unit - II (CDU-II) and Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) of the Manali Refinery of CPCL resumed on December 22, 2015 and December 23, 2015, respectively,” the company said in a regulatory filing.

While operations at Cauvery Basin Refinery at Nagapattinam resumed on December 14, the same at Manali refinery were restored on December 16.

However, half of the Manali refinery hadn’t started on that date because the FCCU and CDU-II were not functional.

CDU is the primary unit that processes crude oil while FCCU produces high-end fuels.

Manali refinery near Chennai has a capacity of 10.5 million tonnes per annum while Nagapattniam has one million tonnes a year capacity.
