MUMBAI: Reliance Industries (RIL) has selected the Norway-based Aker Kvaerner for providing project management, procurement and engineering services for the new polypropylene (PP) plant proposed to be built by Reliance Petroleum (RPL) in Jamnagar SEZ, according to an Aker Kvaerner statement. The plant is expected to be the largest-capacity polypropylene facility to date, and will take propylene feed from a newly-developed (grassroots) refinery complex.
The expansion includes two new polypropylene lines, each with a nameplate capacity of 450,000 tonnes per annum. Aker Kvaerner’s AK Process business is providing the basic engineering and project management for the overall Aker Kvaerner scope. Aker Kvaerner Powergas India in Mumbai is providing the detailed design and engineering services.
The project will use UNIPOL(TM) PP Technology from The Dow Chemical Company. The project is scheduled for completion and start-up in 2008. Johan Cnossen, president of AK Process, said, “We are pleased to be working on this project with Reliance Petroleum, a key client for Aker Kvaerner, and Bechtel (France), the main project management contractor for the new refinery-cum-petrochemicals complex at Jamnagar.”
