MPOWERâ
REFINERIES
 Mpowerâ
offers small to medium sized
Petroleum Refinery projects on Turn-key basis with its own
indigeneously developed technology. The capacities of Refineries vary from
10000BPD to 60000BPD.
This Project envisages the Refining and
production of Fuel Oils which finds a major demand in the Industries for
their Energy requirements such as Boilers, Furnaces, Power plants and
Generators. It also finds applications in Ships and barges as fuels.
Industrial Applications include, running
Furnaces to generate heat energy to forge and form, in Boilers to generate
steam and as fuel in Power stations to generate electricity.
With the growing economy, the demand for
this fuel is growing at over 10.5% rate per annum and with the government
deregulation of this sector, there exists a good scope for producing it
dedicatedly to service the Industrial, Power, shipping and Automotive
sector.
The Petroleum cuts for Automotive
applications can also be marketed through the government oil companies
depending upon the statutory laws for marketing of Automotive fuels.
Mpowerâ also offers skid mounted
Refineries and can set-up these projects within a period of One year.
Gas to Liquids
Projects– MPOWER GTL
 Researchers
have strived to find a way to efficiently convert natural gas directly to
usable liquid fuel via gas-to-liquids (GTL) processes since German
scientists Fischer and Tropsch successfully converted coal to liquid fuel in
the 1920s. Though large sums of money and effort have been invested in
improving GTL technology, converting methane to longer chained hydrocarbon
compounds remains an energy-intensive process. As a result, the number of
commercial-sized GTL plants remains limited. The prospect of producing
tailor-made liquid fuel without any of the impurities associated with crude
oil-derived fuels continues to be a competitive and challenging pursuit for
most of the major international energy players.
The most commonly cited end products for
GTL projects have been diesel, lubricant base stocks, and petrochemicals.
Diesel accounts for nearly one-half of
all vehicle fuels, transporting 70% of the goods of the world. It is
particularly important in developing countries where trucks and buses -
instead of private gasoline vehicles - dominate the transportation systems.
In an oil refinery, the process of
temperature distillation separates long chains of liquid hydrocarbons (C15
and higher crude oils) into smaller chains, separating diesel, gasoline,
naphtha, kerosene, and lighter gases from crude oil. Unfortunately, this
relatively simple process retains most of the impurities from the original
crude oil in the resulting products. Removing these impurities is expensive
and requires sophisticated process units. If the impurities, especially
sulfur, are not removed, they are eventually released into the atmosphere
(as SOx and NOx) from diesel engines of buses, trucks, and power generators.
MPOWER GTL aims to produce clean diesel
and other transport fuels by “going the other way,” or by joining
methane-rich hydrocarbons into the required length of diesel and other fuel
compounds by using catalyst reactions. MPOWER GTL processes can also be
modified to produce other liquids, such as naphtha (feedstock for
petrochemicals), lube oils, and LPGs. MPOWER Liquid GTL fuels produced from
natural gas contain no impurities and are thus much cleaner burning than
conventional fuels. They may either be sold at a premium price directly to
the market or blended to upgrade lower quality product into higher grades.
Some of the advantages of GTL Technology
are:
-
Exploit the estimated 3,000 tcf of the
world’s gas reserves of 6,100 tcf considered remote or stranded—not easily
or economically accessible to markets by either pipelines or LNG.
-
Monetize the vast amounts of gas
produced in association with liquid hydrocarbons— either crude oil or NGLs—that
are wastefully flared into the atmosphere due to lack of viable gas
transportation options. One study estimates that operators release 3.5 tcf
of natural gas into the atmosphere per year, most of it from African
(mainly Nigerian and Angolan) and Russian oil fields. These flared gases
alone could potentially produce 1 MMb/d of GTL fuels. In addition, many
oil fields are not produced at full capacity due to lack of viable outlets
for the associated gas that is produced with the oil.
-
Produce clean burning fuels to minimize
environmental impacts that also can be blended to improve the quality of
conventional fuels without any loss in fuel economy or engine performance.
-
Produce high-quality lubricant base
stocks demanded by modern engines.
-
Economically produce safe food-grade
waxes.
-
Diversify sources of energy, producing
transportation fuels from gas.
The promise of converting otherwise
wasted or underutilized resources into valuable commodities that can command
a premium price due to their purity is tantalizing. Any excitement must be
tempered with the reality that processes promoted today require extremely
cheap input gas, consume 40% or more of the original energy content of gas
in the process, and, in many cases, are unproven on a large commercial
scale.
 Mpower GTL technologies are based on the
original Fischer-Tropsch chemical process. This process converts a synthesis
gas mixture of hydrogen and CO called syngas into longer chained
intermediate products such as liquid fuel and various petrochemicals. This
is accomplished using iron-, nickel-, or cobalt-based catalysts. The figure
herewith details the steps for producing liquid fuels from natural gas.
The process to convert natural gas to
liquids can be divided into three process steps:
1. Syngas
Generation: To convert natural gas (mostly methane) to syngas (a mixture
of H2 and CO), the client(Project Promoters) can choose from the following
four well established reforming technologies:
i. Steam reforming
ii. Partial
oxidation (POX)
iii. Autothermal
reforming
iv. Combined or two-step
reforming
The choice of reformer technology will
have an influence on the thermal efficiency of the plant as a whole and on
the capital costs of the reformer, oxygen plant (where applicable) and the
Fischer-Tropsch section. One of the biggest challenges is to optimize the
energy integration between the syngas generation and syngas conversion
sections.
2. Syngas
Conversion: This involves the conversion of Syngas to Liquid fuel using
a cobalt based catalyst. Since the H2/CO ratio of the syngas is an important
design variable to maximize the production of high quality diesel, the
designs of the reformer and the conversion FT sections can not be done in
isolation. A most cost effective design for both the Reforming and
conversion unit will be done by taking the mutual interaction between these
units into account.
3.
Hydroprocessing: The wax and hydrocarbon condensate produced by the
Fischer-Tropsch process is predominantly linear parafins with a small
fraction of olefins and oxygenates. The hydrogenation of the olefins and
oxygenates and the hydrocracking of the wax to naphtha and diesel is done at
relatively mild conditions.
ENERGY WITH
COAL
 MPOWER also offers Coal
Combustion & Gasification technologies to save Fuel costs through use of
this cheaper Energy source for Power plants & Energy demand in Industries.
Coal can be readily converted into a
variety of fuels, with a number of key advantages:
Coal liquid fuel can be used for
transport, cooking, stationary power generation, and in the chemicals
industry.
MPOWER offers two different methods for
converting coal into liquid fuels(CTL), direct and indirect liquefaction.
-
Direct liquefaction works by
dissolving the coal in a solvent at high temperature and pressure. This
process is highly efficient, but the liquid products require further
refining to achieve high grade fuel characteristics.
-
Indirect liquefaction
gasifies the coal to form a ‘syngas’ (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon
monoxide). The syngas is then condensed over a catalyst – the
‘Fischer-Tropsch’ process – to produce high quality, ultra-clean fuel
products.
An array of products can be made via
these processes – ultra-clean petroleum and diesel, synthetic waxes,
lubricants, chemical feedstocks as well as alternative liquid fuels such as
methanol and dimethyl ether (DME).
CTL is particularly suited to countries
that rely heavily on oil imports and that have large
domestic reserves of coal.
Technologies are continuously being
developed by MPOWER to improve the efficiency of coal, meet
environmental challenges and increase the ways in which coal can be
utilised.
The technologies employed and being
developed to meet coal's environmental challenges are collectively referred
to as Mpower clean coal technologies. Different technologies are being
developed to suit different
coal types, different environmental issues and different levels of
economic development.
Mpower's technical response to the
environmental challenge in using coal has three core elements:
Through
liquefaction and
gasification coal, Mpower thus provides low cost and secure
alternatives to oil and natural gas for use in electricity generation,
transport and domestic consumption.
Coal can also be used to generate
hydrogen for completely clean future energy systems.
POWER ALCOHOL
 With
the latest trends of blending 5-20% Ethanol with Petrol, Power Alcohol has
gained great demand. With the rapid depletion of Petroleum stocks, world
over, there is a drive to use Alcohol as Alternate fuel for petrol engines.
Mpowerâ offers this project to produce upto
99.9% Power Alcohol from alternate Agro resources through
collective farming of Dio-scorea. Mpowerâ has obtained a patent for
production of Alcohol from Dioscorea(Konphal) and is offering it for
commercial exploitation.
The Alcohol produced is of high quality
and can also be used for potable applications. More-ever there is very low
quantity of polluting effluents from this Raw material, thus making it an
environmentally friendly process.
BIO-DIESEL
 With
the current initiatives to promote Bio-diesel not only in India but all over
the world,
Mpowerâ has joined this drive and is offering Bio-diesel Projects
on Turn-Key basis with Technology, Plant, Project Engineering and
Marketing arrangements.
Mpowerâ has also been amongst the first in India to
establish its manufacturing facilities with its own Technology to produce
high purity Bio-diesel for optimum results in Diesel Engines
Bio-diesel which had been denoted as the
next fuel the world over, has been promoted by the governments of several
nations for usage as fuels via blending with Diesel in varied ratios or
even directly for certain applications. Thus the Bio-diesel blends will find
applications in Automotive fuel as well in Diesel Generators and Power
plants. Additionally, the oil companies are offering contracts for purchase
of Bio-diesel at a fixed rate which they will use for blending with Diesel.
Mpowerâ offers Bio-diesel projects complete
with all arrangements of land, Jatropha plantation, Project engineering and
a Turn-key Plant.
LPG BOTTLING
AND DISPENSING STATIONS
 LPG
has finally arrived for the ever
growing automotive sector!
With the growing
economy, the country is trying to
keep pace with the demand for Automotive fuels. Largely, only Petrol and
Diesel which are liquid fuels are used as fuels in Automobiles. However, the
difference between supply and demand for these Liquid fuels is ever widening
and the country is finding it difficult to keep pace with the demand.
The second problem is the growing
pollution due to automotive exhausts. Automobile exhausts from petrol fired
engines yield a high percentage of Carbon-monoxide, which is definite health
hazard.
 It
is here, that LPG comes to rescue of the Automotive industry by being able
to be used as an effective fuel for Petrol Engines. Not only is LPG more
economical than Petrol, it also contributes less to exhausts, by giving
practically a sootless combustion.
 With
the governments privatising LPG businesses as well as permitting the use of
lpg in automobiles, there is
a good scope for setting up a blending and bottling plant for LPG
business to cater to the domestic and the Automotive sector. It is thus
imperative that LPG DISPENSING STATIONS are the need of the hour to enable
customers to fill their automobiles with this fuel as and when required, on
par with fuelling their automotives with petrol.
It is thus an exciting business
opportunity to aspiring business persons, to start a a promising LPG
Bottling and Dispensing station.
 A
LPG DISPENSING STATION would basically consist of:
•
LPG storage system
•
Piping-Pump system
•
LPG Dispensor with metering system
The capacity of the Station would depend
upon factors such as the location, Investment capability etc.
A road touch land area of minimum around
20000 sq.ft. will be required for a small station and progressive land sizes
would be required for higher capacities.
