Environment

Established systems and procedures are constantly revised for continual improvement to achieve the higher standards of safety, occupational health and environment protection.

DNV, in line with their international safety rating system (ISRS). Mumbai Refinery & Visakh Refinery has already been upgraded from level 6 to level 8.
- Emissions of pollutants in the refineries like SO2 have been drastically reduced from 60 TPD in 1984 to less than 25 TPD now, in spite of capacity increase from 4.5 MMTPA to 13 MMTPA and addition of various secondary processing and lube producing facilities.
- HPCL had pioneered Eco-friendly technologies such as changeover from Phenol to NMP solvent in three lube extraction units and changeover from Oleum to NMP in the Hexane Treating Plant, which were widely appreciated.
