 "Reliance Industries to shut down Hazira cracker for 4 weeks")
In order to increase efficiency and productivity of the facility, Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) has scheduled a planned turnaround at its Hazira manufacturing site. As a result, the cracker unit will be shut for a period of about 4 weeks, starting from the last week of September 2014.
“This opportunity will be utilised to carry out other routine maintenance and turnaround activities to enhance productivity. RIL’s crackers at other locations will continue at normal levels of operations. With advance planning and inventory management, impact on external sales is likely to be minimal,” said a RIL press release.
Hazira facility comprises a naphtha cracker feeding downstream fibre intermediates, plastics and polyester plants. The facility manufactures ethylene oxide (EO), mono ethylene glycol (MEG), vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), poly vinyl chloride (PVC) and high density polyethylene (HDPE), polyester (POY & PSF), polypropylene (PP), purified terephthalic acid (PTA), etc.
