Larsen & Toubro’s (L&T) Heavy Engineering division has successfully manufactured and dispatched one of the world’s heaviest hydrotreating reactors, weighing 1,751 metric tons, from its A M Naik Heavy Engineering Complex in Hazira, Gujarat. The reactor is destined for the Antonio Dovali Jaime Refinery in Salina Cruz, Mexico.
The unit, essential for refining processes such as removing nitrogen and sulphur compounds from hydrocarbon streams, incorporates sophisticated CrMo-V metallurgy and is based on technology developed by France-headquartered Axens.
