Major Refinery Products
4 Propane/Butane/LPG
(Liquefied Petroleum Gas)
LPG produced by
the Refinery, will be a blend of propane and butane, which can be varied
as required. It is also an intermediate material, used in the
manufacture of petrochemicals.
IRL Gasoline will be, in fact, a Reformulated Gasoline, composed of many streams coming from various process units being set-up for improving the various properties of the product, such as, Octane Number, Benzene and Aromatic Contents. As a result of this, the Gasoline of IRL will give better performance, having higher octane and will be more environment friendly product, as it will have low Benzene & Aromatic Contents.
Aviation Fuel
used in commercial aircrafts is a petroleum product having the same
boiling range as kerosene; however some of the critical qualities such
as freeze point, thermal stability, electrical conductivity, flash
point, and aromatic content are more rigorously controlled and strict
quality control measures are applied in handling this product.
JP-8 is a blend
of kerosene and naphtha and is used to power military aircraft.
Like other aviation fuels some of the critical qualities such as freeze
point, thermal stability, electrical conductivity, vapour pressure and
smoke point, water separation index, and filtration time are rigorously
controlled and strict quality control measures are adopted at all stages
of production.
Superior
Kerosene is a refined middle-distillate petroleum product that is used
around the world in cooking, lighting, space heating, solvents and for
blending in diesel fuel.
4 High Speed
Diesel (HSD)
Important properties which need to be monitored in respect of good quality HSD are Flash Point, Pour Point, Cloud Point, Cetane Index and Sulphur Content.
HSD, Produced by IRL, will be better in most of the properties than the Pakistan Standard Specifications, specially, the sulphur content will be much lower than the product, being produced by other refineries in Pakistan, as the first ever Diesel Desulphurization Plant, is being installed by IRL for reducing the sulphur content of H.S.D.

Light Diesel Oil
(LDO)
LDO is primarily
boiler fuel and is consumed by a number of industries.
Many marine
vessels, power plants, commercial buildings and industrial facilities
use furnace oil or combinations of FO and distillate fuels for heating
and processing. The two most critical aspects of the fuel are
viscosity and sulphur content. Controlling these two factors
allows IRL to decrease the environmental impact of the fuel and meet
Asphalt of
different grades will be produced for various applications, including:
road paving, airport runway paving, water proofing, manufacturing
roofing materials, etc.

IRL will also be producing sulphur which will be recovered from the refinery products, specially, from HSD through the process of Diesel Desulphurization Process.
