FACTBOX-Reliance Jamnagar refinery configuration, output
Dec 26 (Reuters) - Reliance Industries Ltd's (RELI.BO) new
refinery RPET.BO in western Gujarat state began processing
crude this week, nearly doubling company output and creating
the world's biggest refining complex just as global demand
retreats.
After reaching full capacity of 580,000 barrels per day (bpd), the $6 billion project, one of the most sophisticated in the world, will make the oil complex in Jamnagar the single-biggest supplier of fuels to the global market.
It will pump out 1.24 million bpd of ultra-clean fuels to meet demand in Europe, Africa and the United States.
Below is a breakdown of the Indian refinery's individual units and their anticipated yields.
The refiner's process configuration is being designed to maximise gasoline, alkylate, jet fuel and diesel output, as well as premium products such as 0.1 percent sulphur gasoline and diesel, while the production of residual fuel will be limited.
