Reliance Industries Ltd has selected Philips 66’s E Gas Technology for its planned gasification plants at Jamnagar which is the largest refining complex in the world with an aggregate refining capacity of 1.3 mn barrels of oil per day.
By using the E Gas Technology, the planned gasification plants at Jamnagar will be among the largest in the world and will process petroleum coke and coal into synthesis gas. The synthesis gas will be used as feedstock for a new chemical complex and will fuel the refinerys existing gas turbine power generation units.
Rex Bennet President Specialties and Business Development at Philips 66 said: “We look forward to this opportunity to work with Reliance on the largest gasification project in the world. Our E Gas & Trade Technology will be used to turn petcoke and coal into clean reliable energy for Reliance’s refinery and petrochemical plant operations.”
Phillips 66 will license its E Gas & Trade Technology to Reliance and provide process engineering design and technical support relating to the gasification technology process area.
