The third expansion wave of Janmagar was incepted in the form of J-3 Expansion Project. J-3 comprises the world’s largest Pet Coke Gasification complex (PCG), the largest Ethylene Cracker, and a Para-xylene unit (pX-04), whose addition has made RIL the world largest para-xylene producer. In addition, there are downstream units such as Mono-ethylene Glycol (MEG), Low Density Poly Ethylene (LDPE). While the first two phases were focussed at increasing crude oil refining capacity, and production capacity of petrochemical products such as Poly-propylene, Para-Xylene, J-3’s prime objective was to turn the entire refining and petrochemical complex into a bottomless refinery, by utilizing the pet coke produced from the two existing refineries, to produce syngas, which along with the off-gases produced in the two refineries, will be utilized in the Refinery Off-gas Cracker (ROGC). ROGC will produce Ethylene, which will serve as feed for downstream units, such as MEG, LDPE and LLDPE.
