-13.10 (-0.93%) Energy and petrochemicals major Reliance Industries (RIL) has roped in Phillips 66’s E-Gas Technology for its planned gasification plants at Jamnagar. The planned gasification plants at Jamnagar are expected to be among the largest in the world and will process petroleum coke and coal into synthesis gas utilizing the E-Gas tm 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. Company'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.
Phillips 66 will license its E-Gas Technology to Reliance and provide process engineering design and technical support relating to the gasification technology process area. The E-Gas Technology has been utilized in commercial applications since 1987. It incorporates a unique gasification system design that can be applied with gas and steam turbine combined-cycle power generation to produce electric power, as well as synthesis gas applications for the production of hydrogen, chemicals or substitute natural gas in highly flexible combinations. Further, it is among the cleanest and most efficient commercial technologies for coal or petroleum coke-based electric power generation and syngas production. It offers high system efficiencies, minimized water consumption and very low emissions.
Headquartered in Houston, Phillips 66 is an advantaged downstream energy company with segment leading Refinery and Marketing (R&M), Midstream and chemical business. The company has approximately 14,000 employees worldwide.
