Reliance Industries announced that it has selected Phillips 66’s E-Gas Technology for its planned gasification plants at Jamnagar. The EGas Technology will be used to turn petcoke and coal into clean, reliable energy for Reliance’s refinery and petrochemical plant operations.

 
Reliance’s Jamnagar site is the largest refining complex in the world, with an aggregate refining capacity of 1.3 million barrels of oil per day. The planned gasification plants at Jamnagar will be among the largest in the world and will process petroleum coke and coal into synthesis gas utilising the E-Gas Technology. The synthesis gas will be used as feedstock for a new chemical complex and will fuel the refinery’s existing gas turbine power generation units.
