Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. was the first
oil company in the country to venture into research and development
in the area of lubricants and refining process technologies
with the establishment of a full-fledged Research and Development
Centre at Faridabad in 1972. Beginning with import substitution
of lubricating oil and grease formulations of the 70's, this
Centre has, over the years, acquired the capabilities to develop
products meeting the latest international specifications as
well as customized products to meet special application requirements.
IndianOil 's world class R&D
Centre spread over 65 acres of lush green campus on the outskirts
of Delhi has state-of-the-art facilities and has carried out
pioneering work in lubricants formulation, refinery processes
and pipeline transportation. The Centre has 93 patents to its
credit of which 42 are international including 13 in USA.
Over the past three decades IndianOil
R&D Centre has developed over 2000 formulations
of lubricating oils and greases to satisfy the needs of Indian
Industry and consuming sectors of Defence, Railways, Public
Utilities and Transportation. It has been providing all the
necessary technology solutions to IndianOil
's operating divisions by developing innovative, cost-effective
and environment-friendly products and processes with strong
technical back-up service. It has also developed and brought
many new lubricant products to the Indian market, of which multigrade
railroad oils are one example. These products possess USPs established
through in-house endurance tests.
IndianOil 's focussed research
in the areas of lubricant and grease formulations, fuels, refining
processes, biotechnology, additives, pipeline transpotations,
engine evaluation, tribological and emission studies, and applied
metallurgy has won several awards. The R&D's activities
in refining technology are targeted in the areas of fluid catalytic
cracking (FCC) hydroprocessing, catalysis, resid upgradation,
distillation, simulation and modeling, lube processing, crude
evaluation, process optimization, material failure analysis
and remaining life assessment and other technical services to
operating units.
In FCC, apart from process optimization and catalyst evaluation,
the accent is on the development of novel technologies aimed
at value addition to various refinery streams. The R&D center
is fully equipped to provide technical support to commercial
hydrocracker units in the evaluation of feedstocks and catalyst,
optimization of operating parameters, evaluation of licencors'
process technologies, development of novel processes and simulation
