3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Project Information

Nagothane Manufacturing Facility (NMD) - Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) is proposing to debottleneck the existing plants, Ethylene oxide, Ethylene Glycol, LLDPE and expand the gas cracker & CPP with change in fuel in the CPP. These plants will be located within the existing NMD complex. The existing NMD complex is spread over 744 hectares and there is sufficient vacant space to accommodate these future projects.

Need of Project

Gas Cracker plant is the mother plant of RIL-NMD which produces Ethylene and Propylene as a product and the same is used as a raw material in downstream plants. At present, major feed stocks for cracker are C2C3 (ethane propane mix) from ONGC and propone is either imported or from RIL refinery at Jamnagar. A continuous reduction of C2C3 supply from ONGC is envisaged. In view of Shale gas ethane availability and reduction in C2/C3 supply from ONGC it is planned to create flexibility of cracking ethane in the process and increase existing plant capacity. Debottlenecking of EO/EG, LLDPE & Hexene-1 Plants are proposed in view of extra ethylene availability post Shale gas Ethane cracking in Gas Cracker.

Project Area

NMD is declared as industrial area as per notification from Govt. of Maharashtra. The MIDC industrial area notification is shown at Annexure-3. The site layout map showing the existing plant installation and the location of the proposed installation in the project site is given in Annexure –2. The area breakup of NMD is given in below table.

Reliance Industries Limited - NMD Page 10

Employment Generation due to the project

The existing manpower at NMD is about 1794 (supervisory:575 and non-supervisory: 1219). Existing manpower would be used, as most of the projects are DBN/expansion of existing plants. Thus, there is no additional employment generation due to this project.

Project Cost & Schedule

The proposed activities will be carried out within the existing NMD complex. Hence, no additional land is required for the proposed project. However the CAPEX would involve the some minor construction activities such as small foundations & procurement along with machinery installations. Environment Protection and safety systems have also been considered in planning the cost projection. Capex for the proposed project is ~Rs. 1058 crores. The proposed is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2016.

4. PROCESS DESCRIPTION

The Ethane which is proposed to be imported shall be the raw material for the Gas Cracker plants as well as the fuel to the captive power plant. From the Gas Cracker, the products ethylene & propylene will go as feeds to downstream plants such as Polymer plants, EO/EG, Hexene-I etc. the following section provides the details of the process description of the proposed project.

Gas Cracker Plant

Cryogenic ethane would be imported in custom built Cryogenic marine ships. Total 1.6 MMTPA of ethane would be handled at existing GCPTCL jetty at Dahej. Ethane will be offloaded and stored in cryogenic tank (-90 DegC approx.) Part of this Ethane will be used in DMD cracker and rest will be transferred to HMD and NMD through cross country pipeline from DMD. Ethane after cold recovery at DMD will be pumped through a cross-country pipeline to Nagothane. NMD will receive 70 TPH (max- 98 TPH) liquid ethane, at ~ 50-55 kg/cm2 pressure and 30 Deg C temperature which will be let down to required header pressure (~11 kg/cm2).

Section wise operations in GC is given below;

Feed Handling and Cold recovery: The NMD unit receives the liquid ethane feed at around 51 kg/cm2 and 25 °C. The fresh ethane feed will be cooled down to -1 °C in a feed chiller using 3rd level C3R liquid at -5.4 °C. The ethane feed is then let down to 11 kg/cm2 at the inlet of the cold recovery system, providing refrigeration credit at -25 °C. The pre-chilling of the ethane feed at the high pressure reduces the ethane flash vapor after pressure reduction and provides more refrigeration credit at -25°C level. A new C2 splitter feed condenser will be added to utilize the -25 °C level ethane refrigerant. The partially condensed feed to the C2 Splitter reduces the -38 °C level of C3 refrigerant in the C2 splitter condenser. Our preliminary C3R compressor evaluation reveals that, without the C2 Splitter feed chilling, the operation of the first stage of the C3R Compressor will be in an unstable zone. The C2 Splitter feed chilling also increases the C2 Splitter Reboiler duty and the tray loadings, especially at the bottom section of the tower. The vaporized ethane feed is then sent to the Ethane Feed Superheater where it is heated to 35 °C before it is sent to the Ethane Feed Heater No. 2. The heating medium is the C3R from C3R Surge Drum. The C3R is sub-cooled to -22 °C and is sent to the C3R Second Stage Suction Drum. The ethane feed leaves the system at the required header pressure (approx. 10 kg/cm2). A portion of the fresh ethane feed, 11.3 TPH, is let down to 22 kg/cm2 and vaporized to feed the CPP users during normal operation. The refrigeration duty is credited to the C3R system at 7.2 °C level. Since the cold recovery temperature of the ethane feed at 22 kg/cm2 is around 2°C, the feed to the vaporizer is taken before the new Ethane Feed Chiller. Emergency ethane feed vaporizers are provided for fuel to CPP and Feed to Cracker. There will be no changes in E/P tower and it will be operated at lower load.

A new furnace named H-15 same as existing furnaces will be installed, additional DSG reboiler, SSG feed pump, new DSG feed/Blowdown exchanger will be installed due to increased dilution steam generation.

Cracked Gas compression and Caustic wash: Cracker gas compressor turbine will be replaced with higher capacity, caustic tower trays will be replaced with higher capacity and an additional dehydrator will be installed to cater increased volumetric gas flow. Chilling Train and De-methanizer: Additional De-methaniser pre-cooler No.2 and No.3 will be installed to cater higher lighters generation, new hydrogen compressor will be installed for feeding hydrogen to C2 hydrogenation reactor. Recovery: C2 hydrogenation reactor with associated equipment’s will be installed to convert acetylene to ethylene, C2 splitter trays will be replaced with higher capacities trays, provision of recycle of c3’s to De-ethaniser and C4s to De-propanizer will be made.

Process flow schematic of Gas Cracker

LLDPE Plant

LLDPE/HDPE plant is a gas based fluidized bed swing technology of two trains consisting of catalyst preparation, polymerization and extrusion and finishing section.

In catalyst preparation areas, high yield catalyst is required for production of LLDPE and HDPE. In the polymerization section, ethylene along with a monomer such as Butene–1 is polymerized in a low pressure gas phase fluidized bed process. Heat of reaction is removed by circulating the fluidizing medium through an external heat exchanger. Granules formed are degassed by means of nitrogen and subsequently pelletized in continuous mixer palletizing system where

EO/EG plant:

Ethylene oxide is manufactured commercially by catalytic oxidation of ethylene by using oxygen in a fixed bed multi tubular reactor. Ethylene oxide is absorbed in water and stripped in EO Stripper Column. The stripped ethylene oxide is then further purified to produce Pure Ethylene Oxide product or Water-Ethylene Oxide 10% solution is sent to ethylene glycol reactor for production of Ethylene Glycol. In the EG reactor, Ethylene Oxide to Ethylene Glycol reaction takes place in presence of excess water. This water is subsequently removed by vaporization and distillation to obtain Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) Product. Poly Ethylene Glycol (PEG) is by product generated in the process. All three products are dispatched through road tankers. Increased Capacity will be obtained by installing new equipment and optimization of process design.

Following are the major changes envisaged during the proposed project;

Air Separation Plant (ASP) Modification for additional Oxygen Production

Cycle Gas Compressor Modification for higher flow requirement

CO2 Removal Unit Expansion to maintain <1% CO2 at Reactor inlet

Installation of Pre Effect Evaporator

EO Absorber & Stripper Column Internals Replacement

Re-designed Oxygen Mixing to accommodate higher flow.

MEG Refining Section Modification

Hexene-1 Plant:

Ethylene is catalytically trimerized to form Hexene-1 in liquid medium under certain temperature and pressure. Subsequently from Hexene-1, unreacted catalyst is separated by evaporation. Later separated Hexene-1/Ethylene (unreacted) mixture is sent to series of distillation columns for achieving required purity of Hexene-1. The liquid product will be stored in tanks. The process flow for the production of the Hexene-1 is shown below. Hexene-1 produced will be used as Commoner for production of Metallocene grades in existing LLDPE & HDPE Plants.

DM water plant

Raw water

Cooling towers

Captive Power Plant The areas covered under Offsite facilities are:

Fire water system

Tank-farm

Integrated Wastewater Treatment Plant (IWWTP)

In the proposed project there is no expansion/modernization is envisaged in the utilities except the Captive Power Plant wherein, an addition of 15 MW along with use of ethane as fuel is envisaged. The details are provide below. The details on IWWTP are given in the environment consideration section.

Captive Power Plant (CCP)

The power and steam requirements for the process plants at NMD is met by 85 MW gas based Captive Power Plant (CPP). Due to increase in demand of power for facilities at NMD, it is now proposed to expand the 85 MW gas based CPP to 100 MW by addition of 15 MW. The availability of shale gas ethane has also encouraged to use ethane in the CPP along with Lean Gas & Off gas. At the CPP, provision will be made for firing varied type fuel such as Lean gas, off gas, Mix Oil, LSHS, HSD and Ethane. The below table provides the list of fuels envisaged for firing in CPP.

Fuel is fired in gas turbine (GT) combustors where heat of the fuel is consumed. GT generates power & unutilized heat is sent out in the form of exhaust flue gases to the Heat Recovery Steam generator (HRSG). The GT exhaust is used in HRSG to recover heat & steam is generated. Extra fuel is fired in HRSG burners (Supplementary firing) to generate steam at required temperature & load. Steam is supplied to all plants for process use & to Steam Turbine to generate power. At NMD the CPP has 3 GTs of 20 MW each & 1 STG of 25 MW. In the proposed project it is envisaged to increase the capacity each of the 3 GTs passing the inlet air through an inlet air chilling system which reduces the temperature of the inlet air by ~ 16 Deg. C from the ambient temperature. The schematic of the CPP is given below.

Environmental Aspects

The proposed expansion & debottlenecking at NMD shall not add any additional load on the environment setting of the region. However, this section provides the details of the environment considerations of the proposed project.

Air Emissions

The expected air emissions from a petrochemical complex are PM, SO2, NOx and hydrocarbons (HCs/VOCs). In the proposed project, natural gas is used as fuel for combustion which is a cleaner fuel. Hence, emission of SO2 will be negligible due to burning of fuel. NOx will be generated from the GC furnaces as well as CPP due to combustion of fuel. Such emissions will be controlled and will be within stipulated standards. However, adequate measures shall be place to mitigating impacts on ambient air quality during the project operations. PM emission is envisaged from the process plants as well as CPP. Although, PM emission are very negligible, adequate measures such as bag filters are in place to control such emissions. Fugitive emissions in the form of VOCs is envisaged during the proposed project. To control such emissions, adequate measures are in place such as provision of internal floating roof tanks with flexible double seal for storage tanks, mechanical seals in pumps etc.

In the proposed project an additional furnace shall be installed in the GC plant. This furnace will be equipped with a stack to disperse the emissions adequately. This stack will be of ~ 38 m in height from the ground level.

Noise The major source of noise generation shall be from process plants, CPP, etc, In the proposed project there is no anticipated increase in noise level. However, adequate precaution will be in place to maintain noise level within prescribed limits. At the CPP the noise generating equipment will be provided with enclosure for noise attenuation to reduce noise level within statutory limits.

Water Consumption and Effluent Generation

The proposed project requires water for operation of its boilers, processes, process cooling, utilities cooling, domestic consumption, fire water make up and greenbelt development/horticulture. No adverse environmental impact is envisaged due to withdrawal of water by NMD. The existing water requirements at NMD is 41,000 m3/d. In the proposed project, an incremental water quantity of ~ 2700 m3/d envisaged taking the total water requirements the NMD to ~ 43,700 m3/d. This total water requirements is met by MIDC, which has sanctioned 67,000 m3/d of water to NMD. The water management plan at NMD is being implemented which includes water conservation measures such as to reduce the net raw water requirement by way of recycle/reuse of treated wastewater to the maximum possible extent wherever it is feasible. The same plan shall be strengthened in the proposed project.

In the proposed project there would be a marginal increase in the quantity of wastewater getting generated. The existing IWWTP is adequate to treat additional stream of wastewater. The exact quantity of the wastewater shall be quantified during the detailed engineering stage and the same shall be considered in the environment impact study for the proposed project.

Integrated Waste Water Treatment Plant (IWWTP)

The IWWTP serves the following functions;

Collection of process waste streams & contaminated rain water from the main plants and offsite

Collection of sanitary sewage from the complex

Collection of caustic waste from the complex

Equalization of process waste

Separation of free oil

Chemical treatment for removal of emulsified oil, suspended solids and part of COD

Biological treatment for removal of BOD, COD etc. by biodegradation

Final polishing in a Guard pond. A brief on the IWWTP is given below; Wastewater from the process plants is routed to a DWF (Dry Weather Flow) /WWF (Wet Weather Flow) sump. During monsoon season, the contaminated rainwater that overflows the DWS to WWS is held in surge pond and pumped to API. During non-monsoon season, the wastewater is taken from the DWS to the equalization tank and thereafter to the API. API outlet is routed through a flash mixer to a clariflocculator for the removal of suspended solids and residual emulsified oil fraction as underflow sludge. Treated effluent from the clariflocculator enters the secondary treatment system. Aeration is provided by surface aerators in an aeration tank with two compartments. The clarified water from the biological system goes to a guard pond. Guard ponds also receive CTBD (Cooling Tower Blowdown) directly. Sludge from the clarifier is concentrated in the thickener and dewatered in the sludge drying beds. The treated effluent is used for horticulture. Remaining treated water is discharged to Dharamtar Creek after passing through an oily water separator/filter unit which removes any residual oil from the treated effluent, released from the guard pond. The outfall location at estuarine zone of river Amba, identified by National Institute of Oceanography (NIO). The block diagram for IWWTP is given below;

Green Belt

Development of green belt with carefully selected plant species is of prime importance due to their capability to reduce noise and air pollution impacts by attenuation/assimilation and also for providing food & habitat for local fauna. NMD has developed greenbelt in 298 ha of its land within its premises. The existing green belt will be strengthen by monitoring the survival rate of the planted trees and identifying the more tolerant species for replacement, if needed.
