Reliance Industries (RIL) today said it would shut the crude oil distillation unit at its only-for-export refinery at Jamnagar in Gujarat for maintenance.
"The company has scheduled a planned maintenance turnaround of one of the crude distillation units of its SEZ refinery at Jamnagar complex for a period of about three weeks starting mid-February 2012," RIL said in a press statement.
RIL runs a 29 million tonne only-for-export refinery adjacent to its 33 million tonne refinery at Jamnagar.
This maintenance turnaround has been planned for the first time since the commissioning in 2008-09.
"This opportunity would also be utilised to take up productivity improvement related jobs in other secondary processing units as necessary," RIL said.
During this period, other three crude distillation units at Jamnagar refining complex are expected to sustain normal operations, the company said.
