Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has successfully commissioned and achieved design throughput of the world’s first ever and largest refinery off-gas cracker (ROGC) complex of 1.5 million metric tonnes per annum (mmtpa) capacity along with downstream plants and utilities.
The ROGC complex is a core component of RIL’s most innovative and world-scale J3 project at its integrated refinery-petrochemicals complex at Jamnagar, Gujarat.
With the commissioning of ROGC complex, the largest ever expansion of RIL’s petrochemicals portfolio comes to a flawless completion. This is one of the largest capital expenditure programme globally in the sector in recent times. It epitomizes RIL’s core strategy of continuously pursuing opportunities for cost optimization and efficiency enhancement through vertical integration across the value chain.
The ROGC complex has a unique configuration as it uses off-gases from RIL’s two refineries at Jamnagar as feedstock. This innovative approach of integration with refineries provides a sustainable cost advantage, making ROGC competitive with respect to the crackers in Middle East and North America which have feedstock cost advantage.
