Hello, here I am providing you the details of the Barauni Refinery Begusarai of the Indian Oil Corporation Limited as under:

About the refinery:
Barauni Refinery was built in collaboration with Russia and Romania. Situated 125 kilometeres from Patna, it was built with an initial cost of Rs 49.40 crore.

Facilities:
After de-bottlenecking, revamping and expansion project, it's capacity today is 6 MMTPA. Matching secondary processing facilities such as Resid Fluidised Catalytic Cracker (RFCC), Diesel Hydrotreating (DHDT), Sulphur Recovery Unit (SRU) have been added.

Capacity:
Barauni Refinery was commissioned in 1964 with a refining capacity of 1 Million Metric Tonnes per Annum (MMTPA) and it was dedicated to the Nation by the then Union Minister for Petroleum, Prof. Humayun Kabir in January 1965.

Source:
Barauni Refinery was initially designed to process low sulphur crude oil (sweet crude) of Assam.

Distribution:
The refinery receives crude oil by pipeline from Paradip on the east coast via Haldia. With various revamps and expansion projects at Barauni Refinery, capability for processing high-sulphur crude has been added — high-sulphur crude oil (sour crude) is cheaper than low-sulphur crudes — thereby increasing not only the capacity but also the profitability of the refinery.
