中国石化新闻网讯 据安迅思孟买1月5日消息，印度Nayara能源公司新建45万吨/年的聚丙烯（PP）装置预计将于2023年10月至12月开始运营。
新建PP装置的选址毗邻该公司在印度西部古吉拉特邦瓦迪纳尔的现有炼油厂，资本支出约7.5亿美元。
Nayara能源公司在去年12月30日的一份声明中表示：“该新建PP装置是公司改造和振兴瓦迪纳尔炼油厂的愿景的一部分，将其打造成世界级的综合炼油石化综合设施。”
石化综合设施正在分阶段开发。第一期项目包括PP装置、丙烯回收装置，以及对现有流化催化裂化(FCC)装置的改造升级。
Nayara能源公司表示：“一期项目开发进度已超过85%。”
该公司补充称，改造后的FCC装置已于2022年12月20日投入使用，该公司预计于今年2月开始对丙烯回收装置进行预调试活动。

India’s Nayara Energy to start up new PP unit in end-2023
India’s Nayara Energy expects to begin operations at its greenfield 450,000 tonne/year polypropylene (PP) plant between October and December 2023.
The new PP plant has been built at a site adjacent to the company’s existing refinery complex at Vadinar in the western Gujarat state, with a capital outlay of around $750m.
“The PP plant is part of the company’s vision of revamping and revitalising its Vadinar refinery into a world-class integrated refinery petrochemical complex,” Nayara Energy said in a statement on 30 December.
The petrochemical complex is being developed in phases. The PP line, a propylene recovery unit, along with upgrades to an existing fludized catalytic cracking (FCC) unit form Phase 1 of Nayara’s petrochemical complex.
“Phase-1 project development has achieved over 85% progress,” it said.
The revamped FCC unit was commissioned on 20 December 2022 and the company expects to begin pre-commissioning activities at the propylene recovery unit in February, it added.
“With completion of the FCC revamp, we have made significant progress on our petrochemical entry,” Nayara Energy CEO Alois Virag said.In the second phase, the company expects to set up an integrated petrochemical complex, he added.
Nayara Energy’s refinery in Vadinar, Gujarat is the second largest in India. It has an annual capacity of 20m tonnes which constitutes about 8% of India’s overall refinery capacity.
