Dahej Manufacturing Division
located near Bharuch, Gujarat, is spread over
1,778 acres. It comprises of an ethane / propane
recovery unit, a gas cracker, a caustic chlorine
plant and 4 downstream plants, which manufacture
polymers and fibre intermediates.
The complex has its own facility
for separating ethane/propane from rich gas containing
recoverable amounts of ethane / propane purchased
from GAIL. The lean gas from which the ethane
/ propane has been extracted is returned to GAIL.
The ethane / propane mixture is then used as a
feedstock for the gas cracker plant.
The complex was commissioned in two phases in
order to rationalize cash flows and level of borrowings.
The Caustic Chlorine, VCM and PVC pants in phase
one was commissioned in 1997. After this, in phase
two, HDPE plant, MEG plant, ethane / propane recovery
plant and gas cracker unit were commissioned in
2000.
