Here is update on completed Essar Vadinar Coking Refinery expansion. The refinery has been expanded to 375 MBD (18 MM TPA) and added a 140 MBD (7.5 MMTPA) coker <CBI-Lummus Coker license ~> reportedly largest CBI has designed. Article also mentions optimization also ongoing to expand capacity to 405 MBD/20MMTPA to complete by Sept 2012.

The expansion of Essar Vadinar is Phase I expansion and Phase II will follow with an additional coker by 2014

So far this is at least 3 CBI-Lummus Licensed Cokers completing 1Q2012 (Lukoil Perm, HPCL-Mittal Bhathinda & Essar Vadinar).
