RIL selects Phillips 66 technology for Jamnagar plants

NEW DELHI: Reliance Industries today said it has selected Houston-based Phillips 66's technology for its planned gasification plants at Jamnagar.

"The planned gasification plants at Jamnagar will be among the largest in the world and will process petroleum coke and coal into synthesis gas utilising (Phillips 66's) E-Gas Technology," the company said in a press statement.

The synthesis gas will be used as feedstock for a new chemical complex and will fuel the refinery's existing gas turbine power generation units.

Phillips 66 will license its E-Gas Technology to RIL and provide process engineering design and technical support relating to the gasification technology process area.
