Achievements

From the initial years of supporting the on-going business to moving into research in niche areas, CRDC has exhibited its strength in development of various novel technologies and products.

The first major breakthrough came in 2005 in the form of Bharat Metal Cutting Gas (BMCG), followed by Octane Improver and CO Promoter.

By 2010, CRDC had chalked out an ambitious journey to take Bharat Petroleum into the realm of future technologies

By 2015, ‘Polymer & Petrochemicals’ laboratory was set up with the objective of developing niche chemicals from the upcoming petrochemical plants.

By June 2020, CRDC demonstrated and commercialized several innovative technologies and products, such as Gasoline Sulfur Reduction Catalyst (Bharat GSR CAT); Ethanol Corrosion Inhibitor (Bharat Ecochem); an indigenous Dewaxing Catalyst (Bharat Hi-CAT); Water Detecting Paste (Bharat WDP); a state-of-the-art tool for predicting the refining characteristics of crude oil (BPMARRK); K Model – a tool for ascertaining crude oil compatibility; HiGee Deaeration technology; a high-efficiency Divided Wall Column technology for naphtha separation (Bharat DWC) and many more.
