MEIL’s Mongol Refinery team provides livestock support to Dornogovi nomads

HYDERABAD: The Mongol Oil Refinery expressed its gratitude to Hyderabad-based Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Ltd (MEIL), for supporting the Mongolian herders affected by the devastating weather ‘Dzud’.

“On behalf of my company, as well as the Mongolian herders who are suffering from a harsh snow catastrophe, I express my deepest thankfulness for your generous contribution to Dornogovi nomads, may god be always with Megha Engineering and with India,” Dr. Altansetseg Dashdavva, CEO - MR, Mongolia said.

MEIL is constructing three critical segments in Mongolia’s first greenfield integrated Mongol Oil Refinery project coming up in the Dornogobi province, Mongolia. Within this refinery, MEIL is overseeing the construction of a diesel hydrotreater unit (DHDT), a hydrocracker Unit (HCU), a visbreaker unit (VBU), a hydrogen generation unit (HGU), a sulfur block, an LPG treating unit, hydrogen compression and distribution – matching, plant buildings, satellite rack rooms, sub-stations, open art units, utilities, offsites, and others. To ensure that the MEIL team meets the deadlines and work is not hampered, MEIL is also constructing the biggest camp in the region for 2,400 workers.

The Dzud weather, characterised by freezing and harsh weather conditions, has caused widespread hardship and food insecurity for herder communities who rely heavily on their livestock for existence across Mongolia.

MEIL hydrocarbons president P. Rajesh Reddy said: "Our commitment to livestock support to the Dornogovi nomads during this challenging time reflects our values of empathy and solidarity that we all share. The aid from the MEIL family will mitigate the tragedy of livestock mortality and empower herder households to procure vital hay and fodder for their animals.”

He said that the MEIL will remain committed to working with its partners and stakeholders to build a more resilient energy-secure future for Mongolia.
