MOSCOW (MRC) -- Reliance Industries Ltd.(RIL), the second largest publicly traded company in India, plans to shut down one crude distillation unit (CDU) at its Jamnagar petrochemicals refinery special economic zone for routine maintenance and inspection for nearly 10 days in July, as per Plastemart.
This opportunity would also be utilised to carry out necessary modifications to improve the reliability and performance of the unit, RIL said in a statement.
The other three crude distillation units, including major secondary processing units, are expected to operate at normal throughput.
As MRC wrote previously, Reliance Industries restarted its domestic polypropylene (PP) plant following maintenance turnaround in late March 2015. It was shut on February 28, 2015. Located in Jamnagar in the Western Indian state of Gujarat, the plant has a production capacity of 1 million mt/year.
Reliance Industries is one of the world's largest producers of polymers. The company's polymer production in 2010-11 (polypropylene, polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride) made 4,094 kilo tonnes.
