16^th Apr 2015, Environmental Clearance Project Brief

Patalganga Manufacturing Division (PMD) of Reliance industries Limited (RIL) is located at Patalganga MIDC, Village Mohopada, Tehsil Khalapur, District Raigad, Maharashtra. It is a multi-product complex manufacturing a wide range petrochemical products, such as linear alkyl benzene (LAB), Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA), Polyester Fiber Yarn and Polyester Staple Fiber, Polyester Industrial Yarn, Fully Drawn Yarn.

It is envisaged to increase the production of PTA from 25000 MT per month to 27500 MT per month as well as LAB from 8340 MT per month to 11000 MT per month by debottlenecking the processes. The power and steam requirements for the process plants at PMD is met by 48 MW gas based Captive Co-generation Power Plant (CCPP). Due to unavailability of gas and increase in demand of power for facilities at PMD & other Reliance facilities, it is now proposed to expand the 48 MW gas based CCPP to 190MW by addition of 124 MW (2 x50 MW + 1 x 24 MW) CCPP based on Coal/Pet coke, and Efficiency Improvement Initiatives for Gas Turbines to increase power output to 33 MW from each Gas Turbines. The raw material for the PTA & LAB plant shall be heavy Naphtha / Reformate sourced either from BPCL/HPCL refineries at Chembur, Mumbai or from Jamnagar Manufacturing Division (JMD) of RIL. The fuel to be used for the proposed CCPP will be Coal / Petcoke which will be made available either through indigenous sources or will be imported.
