Petrochemicals

EIL has built an unmatched track record of providing services to major petrochemical projects, having established 10 of the 11 mega petrochemical complexes in the country.

Our capabilities span Pre FEED, FEED, PMC, EPCM and turnkey execution across various petrochemical processes such as:
  • Gas based/Naphtha based cracker complexes (comprising gas sweetening, C2 / C3 recovery, Ethylene production and high end products including HDPE, LLDPE, PVC, VCM and EO/EG)
  • Aromatic plants comprising Naphtha splitters, pre-treaters/reformers, Benzene-Toluene extraction units, pyrolysis gasoline hydrogenation units, Xylene fractionation and isomerization units including overall integration and optimization of such complexes.
  • Polymer plants such as HDPE/LDPE, LLDPE, Poly Propylene, Acrylonitrile etc.
  • Downstream fibre products such as PFY, Nylon, Acrylic Fibre, PSF, VCM/PVC, PBR, SBR, Spandex Yarn etc.
  • Chemical units such as Caprolactam, Polyols, Oxychlorination, Phthalic Anhydride etc.
EIL has also ventured into the Niche petrochemical segment of Acrylic Acid/ Oxo Alcohol/ Acrylates with the implementation of the Propylene Derivative Petrochemical Project (PDPP) for BPCL, Kochi. The Acrylic (160 KTPA) and Acrylates units (190 KTPA) of the project are first of its kind in India while the OXO-Alcohol unit (212 KTPA) is the largest such unit in India. The product slate of the project comprises of Acrylic Acid, Butyl Acrylate, 2 Ethylhexyl Acrylate, 2 Ethyl Hexanol, Normal Butanol and Iso Butanol.
Another pioneering project being executed by EIL in Petchem sector is the PDH-PP project of GAIL in Usar, Maharashtra, which will be India's first propane dehydrogenation (PDH) plant. The PDH unit will boast a nameplate capacity of 500 KTPA, with propylene production seamlessly integrated into a polypropylene (PP) plant of equal capacity.
