The engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) contract is for setting up a Residue Upgradation Facility (RUF), EPCC-03 Package for Visakh Refinery Modernisation Project (VRMP) at HPCL’s Vizag Refinery.

The RUF plant is licensed by Chevron Lummus Global (CLG) with a capacity of 3.55 MMTPA.
