Email this report to a friend

Reliance Industries Limited has commissioned the third line of its 1.4 million metric tonnes per annum world's largest paraxylene plant at its Jamnagar petrochemicals complex in Gujarat, ahead of schedule. The third line's capacity is 467,0000 MTA.

Reliance is already operating two lines of PX with a capacity of 467,000 MTA each at Jamnagar.

With this, RIL has emerged as the third largest producer of PX in the world after BP-Amoco and Exxon-Mobil.

RIL's PX plant has been set up with UOP (USA) technology, an acknowledged world leader in the field of refinery and petrochemicals technologies.

A substantial portion of the PX output from this plant is meant for captive consumption at RIL's PTA manufacturing facilities at its Patalganga and Hazira petrochemicals complexes. RIL currently has an aggregate PTA capacity of around one million MTA.
