    This document provides definitions for 20 key items related to an oil refinery, including units like the crude distillation unit, catalytic reformer unit, and hydrocracker unit. It explains what each item or unit does, such as distilling and separating crude oil fractions in the crude distillation unit or upgrading residues into lighter products in the vis-breaker unit. Key terms are also defined, such as throughput, gross refinery margin, and types of crude oil.

    S. No. Item Details


    1. Crude Distillation Unit Distil and separate valuable distillates (LPG, Naphtha,
    (CDU) Kerosene, Diesel etc) and bottom from the crude at normal
    atmospheric pressure. Various fractions are further processed
    in other units.
    2. Continuous Catalytic It convert lower octane value naphtha into higher octane
    Reformer Unit (CCR) products.
    3. Delayed Coker Unit Converts low value residue into valuable products (Naphtha,
    (DCU) Diesel and Coker gas oil) and Pet Coke.
    4. Diesel Hydro The unit removes Sulphur, Nitrogen and metal impurities of
    Desulphurisation Treating the feed received from different units.
    Unit (DHDT)
    5. Fuel & Loss Fuel & Loss refers to the cost that refineries incur due to the
    fuel consumed to run the refineries and the fuel lost in the
    system while processing crude into petroleum products.
    6. Gas Oil Hydro De- Removes Sulphur from Light Gas Oil (LGO), Heavy Gas Oil
    Sulphurisation (GOHDS) (HGO), and Vacuum Gas Oil (VGO) which is converted into
    Unit ultra-low sulfur diesel to meet the sulfur specification of
    diesel.
    7. Gross Refinery Margin The Gross Refinery Margin (GRM) is the difference between
    (GRM) the total value of petroleum products coming out of an oil
    refinery (output) and the price of the crude used for producing
    the petroleum products. GRM is typically expressed in US
    dollars per barrel.
    8. Heavy Coker Gas Oil This unit is a feed preparation unit for downstream PFCCU. It
    Hydrotreating Unit produces feed stock of low sulfur, low nitrogen feed hydro
    (CHTU) treated Heavy Coker Gas Oil feed stock for downstream
    PFCC unit.
    9. Hydrocracker Unit (HCU) Unit in which heavier fractions of VGO from the VDU and
    Vis-breaker units are cracked into lighter, more valuable
    middle distillates using hydrogen
    10. Hydrogen Generation Unit Produces hydrogen by steam reforming of Naphtha
    (HGU)

    Report No. 33 of 2017

    11. Light or Heavy Crude Crude with High API (American Petroleum Index) is light
    crude and crude with low API is heavy crude
    12. Lump Sum Turn Key In LSTK contract, the contractor is entrusted with the
    (LSTK) work/services at a fixed cost along with all associated risks till
    the handing over of the project/asset.
    13. Open Book Execution In an OBE contract, the buyer and seller of work/services
    (OBE) agree on remunerable cost and margin that the supplier can
    add to these costs. The project is invoiced to the customer
    based on the actual cost plus the agreed margin.
    14. Petrochemical Fluidized Produces fuel gas, LPG, polymer grade Propylene, Naphtha
    Catalytic Cracking Unit and light cycle oil from unconverted bottoms from HCU,
    (PFCCU) hydro-treated heavy Coker gas oil from CHTU and low
    Sulphur VGO from CDU/VDU.
    15. Poly Propylene Unit (PPU) Petrochemical unit for production of Poly Propylene from
    Propylene, output of PFCCU.
    16. Sulphur Recovery Unit Unit recovers Sulphur from the feed.
    17. Sweet or Sour Crude Crude containing low sulphur content is termed as sweet
    crude and crude with high sulphur content is termed as sour
    crude.
    18. Throughput The total tonnage of crude oil fed into an oil refinery is its
    throughput.
    19. Vacuum Distillation Unit Distills the residue crude from the bottom of the CDU to
    (VDU) valuable gas oils.
    20. Vis-breaker Unit (VBU) Upgrades short residues coming from the bottom of vacuum
    distillation column by thermally cracking into lighter, reduced
    viscosity products.
