Haldia Refinery- I.O.C L, Haldia.
Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., Haldia Refinery is the biggest and only refinery in the eastern
sector providing Paving Bitumen from crude oil. This refinery produces paving bitumen
viscosity grade VG-10, 20, 30 & 40. This plant is producing 2500 to 3000 MT of paving
bitumen per day.
The Quality Control Laboratory of Haldia refinery is certified with DGCA, DGAQA, CEMILAC,
WBPCB and NABL since 2001. All the require quality test for paving bitumen are conducted
in this laboratory.
During my visit I have witnessed important three test ie Penetration Test, Absolute Viscosity
Test & Softening Point Test on our required material VG-30 grade of paving bitumen sample.
The results found are almost same as the quality test report of the plant done on 24-06-
2016 (latest report) and found satisfactory as per codal limits. The latest test certificate and
“A Quality Compendium” of the refinery plant are enclosed herewith.
Recommendation:
1. As the source is satisfactory for the procurement of paving bitumen VG-30, hence
recommended for approval.
2. Samples shall be collected from the loads which reach to the construction site and
third party test will be conducted from time to time.
