Jamnagar
Hazira Reliance's Jamnagar complex represents the largest industrial project ever
Patalganga implemented in the Indian corporate sector.
Naroda The Jamnagar manufacturing complex is a fully integrated manufacturing
complex, with a petroleum refinery complex, an aromatics/petrochemical
complex, a power generation complex, a port and terminal complex, as
well as access to a pipeline network.
This high degree of integration at the Jamnagar complex allows for
feedstock and product linkages that will lead to higher efficiencies and
enhanced value addition.

Locat ion
Situated on the north-west coast of India, the
integrated refinery-cum-petrochemicals
complex of Reliance is located in the state of
Gujarat at village Motikhavdi, Taluka - Lalpur,
District - Jamnagar.
The complex being about 815 kilometers by road away from Mumbai and
approximately 25 kilometers from the city of Jamnagar is located in
proximity to the Gulf of Kutch, a sheltered bay close to the Middle-East
crude oil sources.

Tot al area
The entire Jamnagar complex consisting of manufacturing and allied
facilities such as utilities and offsites, port facilities and a township for the
employees sprawls over more than 7,500 acres.
If the complex were to be located in Mumbai or London, its area would
have covered more than half of these metropolises.

Tot al invest ment
The entire Jamnagar complex entailed a total investment of about Rs.25,
000 crores (or about US$ 6 billions).

Making of Jamnagar complex
Created in a record time of less t han t hree years, the Jamnagar
complex will always remain a very special experience for us: a project of
titanic proportions that took, for its completion, millions of engineering
man-hours spread over many international engineering offices, hundreds of
thousands of tonnes in equipment and material procured from leading
suppliers all over the globe, highly advanced construction equipment of
unbelievable sizes, construction workforce of over 75,000 working round
the clock for months, a great number of innovative techniques of project
execution and the project management expertise of Reliance painstakingly
acquired over the past several years.

A vast complex
The size of the Jamnagar complex is perhaps
better appreciated through the following
indicators:
Total structural steel tonnage required for
completing the complex is sufficient to
construct nineteen Eiff el t owers.
Total cement concrete used for
completing the complex is sufficient to
create t en buildings like the Empire
St at e Building.
Total length of pipelines in the complex would be adequate to link
t he nort hern and t he sout hern t ips of India or Seat t le
wit h Miami.
Total length of power and control cables in the complex, about
14,000 kilometers, could link t he east ern and t he west ern
part s of India six t imes over or cover t he coast line of t he
USA.
All roads in the complex would connect Mumbai wit h Pune, a
distance of 150 kilometers or Los Angeles
wit h San Diego.

Refinery-cum-pet rochemicals complex
The Jamnagar complex primarily consists of a 27 million tonnes per annum
refinery of RPL that is fully integrated with downstream petrochemicals
units of RIL which manufacture naphtha-based aromatics as well as
propylene- based polymers.
Fully equipped with facilities for meeting the captive energy requirements
in the form of power and steam, the complex is well supported by world-
class logistics and port f acilit ies.

Refining processes
The refinery complex at Jamnagar consists of more than 50 process units
which together process the basic feedstock, crude oil, to obtain various
finished products deploying the following major refining processes:
Crude oil distillation (Atmospheric as well as vacuum distillation)
Catalytic cracking (Fluidised Catalytic Cracker )
Catalytic reforming (Platforming )
Delayed Coking
The following simplified schematic diagram shows how crude oil is refined
to obtain various finished products..

Special f eat ures of t he refinery complex :
Our refinery configuration is characterised by its superior product slate
compared to other refineries. Two important features in this regard are :
High proportion of high-value products such as propylene and LPG (
adding to over 10% on crude processed as compared to 2-3% for
other refineries)
Nil production of low-value "black oils" - fuel oil ( compared to 12-
20% on crude processed for other refineries) under normal
circumstances.

Process t echnologies
All process units of the Jamnagar complex are based on the State of the
Art technologies. Some of the major such technologies are:
Hydrodesulphurisation : UOP
Catalytic Reforming Unit : UOP
Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit : UOP
Delayed Coker Unit : Foster Wheeler Inc.
Sulphur Recovery : Black & Veatch Pritchard
Hydrogen Generation : Linde A G
Merox Treating : UOP
SHP / TAME* : UOP
* (Selective Hydrogenation Process / Tertiary Amyl Methyl Ether)

World Scale Plant s
All process units in the Jamnagar complex, the largest grass-roots refinery
complex in the world, are of world-scale sizes.
In fact some of the process units are the largest operating units in the
world. A few examples
Delayed Coking unit
Fluidised Catalytic Cracking unit
TAME (Tertiary Amyl Methyl Ether) unit

Township
The complex includes a self-contained township,
appropriately named as Reliance Greens, for
over 2,500 of the employees and their families.
Sprawling over 415 acres of land, the township has been designed to
provide the best possible residential, educational and recreational
facilities to the employees
The township includes fully furnished housing for the employees ,as well as
a medical centre, school, playgrounds, temple, community centers, health
centers, banks, mall/supermarket, gas station, parks, swimming pool, a
golf course, tennis courts etc.
