Byco Petroleum Pakistan Ltd. (BPPL) subsidiary Byco Isomerisation Pakistan (Private) Ltd. (BIPPL) has completed startup of Pakistan’s largest isomerization unit at its plant at Mauza Kund, Sub Tehsil Gadani, District Lasbella, Baluchistan.
Equipped with an unidentified “superior technology” and expanded capacity, the 12,500-b/d isom plant began producing high-octane premium motor gasoline as of July 16, BPPL said in a filing to Pakistan Stock Exchange Ltd.
With a current gasoline output of 40,000 tonnes/month, the plant will steadily increase production to 65,000 tonnes/month in the coming days, BPPL said.
Total gasoline production capacity from BPPL—which operates the combined 155,000-b/d refining complex in Mouza Kund, Hub, Baluchistan—now stands at 1.25 million tonnes/year, helping to substantially reduce overall imports into the country, the operator said.
BIPPL acquired its isom plant from BPPL in March 2015, according to BPPL’s web site.
