Reliance’s Jamnagar site will have a refining capacity of 1.3 million barrels of oil per day and will process petroleum coke and coal into synthesis gas using 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.
Phillips 66 specialties and business development president Rex Bennett said, "Our E-Gas Technology will be used to turn petcoke and coal into clean, reliable energy for Reliance’s refinery and petrochemical plant operations."
Phillips 66 will license its E-Gas Technology to Reliance and offer process engineering design and technical support relating to the gasification technology.
