MOSCOW (MRC) -- India's Reliance Industries Limited is in the process of stabilizing production at its new Jamnagar polyethylene (PE) complex, a company source said Tuesday, reported Apic-online.
The new complex was started up in September. It comprises a 550,000 mt/year linear low density polyethylene swing plant (LLDPE) and a 400,000 mt/year low density polyethylene (LDPE) unit.
The ethane-based plants will use refinery offgas as feedstock.
Meanwhile, RIL is building a 1.37 million mt/year steam cracker at the same site.
As MRC informed before, initially, RIL planned to start commercial operations at its new PE plants in Q2 2017.
Reliance Industries is one of the world's largest producers of polymers. Thus, the company produces among others polypropylene, polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride.
