Praxair India has commissioned a VPSA (vacuum pressure swing absorption) plant to supply gaseous oxygen to Reliance Industries Limited (RIL).
The plant has a contractual capacity of 106 tons per day and will be stationed at the Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG-1) plant at the Hazira petrochemicals complex within RIL.
Oxygen supplied by this VPSA plant will go towards increasing RILs production capacity of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) by enrichment of air. In addition to improving the production capacity of PTA and VCM plants, the VPSA oxygen will reduce manufacturing costs for Reliance.
Praxair had earlier in 2003 supplied a similar VPSA unit for Reliances MEG-1 plant. “Reliance again chose Praxair India as the supplier because of their compact plant, proven technology, excellent safety standards, and synergy with the existing VPSA-I plant,” said Mr R I Damani, project manager, RIL.
