印度石油公司批准18亿美元奥迪沙PX/PTA项目

据ICIS网站7月31日消息 印度石油公司（IOC）董事会已经批准在奥迪沙州东部的帕拉迪普启动一个综合的对二甲苯（PX）和精对苯二甲酸（PTA）联合项目，预计将于2024年初上线。

印度石油公司上周末在一份声明中称，公司董事会已批准投资约1380亿卢比（18.4亿美元）在其帕拉迪普炼油厂建立PX/PTA项目。

这家石油化工厂的PX产能将达到80万吨/年，将为120万吨/年的PTA生产线提供原料。

印度石油公司主席西姆·维迪亚说：“这座工厂连同即将在帕拉迪普建成的35.7万吨/年产能的乙二醇工厂，将成为印度石油公司即将在奥迪沙的巴德拉克进行的30万吨/年纺织纱线制造项目的原料来源。”

印度石油公司声明称，乙二醇装置预计将于2021年底投入使用。

维迪亚表示，这一综合设施将有助于促进该地区其他纺织和聚酯项目的发展。

印度石油公司已经在运营一个68万吨/年的聚丙烯装置，包括两条生产线，每条生产线年产万吨。

印度石油公司在声明中称，一旦这些装置投入运行，将有助于为印度政府计划在帕拉迪普设立的石油、化工和石化投资区（PCPIR）提供原料。

India's IOC approves $1.8bn Odisha PX/PTA project

The Indian Oil Corp (IOC) board has approved the setting up of an integrated paraxylene (PX) and purified terephthalic acid (PTA) complex project at Paradip, in eastern Odisha state and expects to bring it online in early 2024.

IOC announced that its board had approved the investment of around Indian Rupees (Rs) 138bn ($1.84bn) to set up the PX/PTA project at its Paradip refinery complex, the company said in a statement over the weekend.

The petrochemicals complex will have a PX production capacity of 800,000 tonnes/year, which will provide the feedstock for the 1.2m tonnes/year PTA line.

"This plant, along with the upcoming monoethylene glycol (MEG) plant of 357,000 tonnes/year capacity at Paradip, would be a ready source of feedstock for IOC’s upcoming 300,000 tonnes/year textile yarn manufacturing project at Bhadrak in Odisha,” IOC chairman SM Vaidya said.

The MEG unit is expected to become operational towards the end of 2021, the IOC statement said.

This complex will help facilitate other textile and polyester projects in the region, Vaidya said.

IOC already operates a 680,000 tonne/year polypropylene (PP) unit comprising two lines of 340,000 tonnes/year each at the site.

Once operational, all these units will help provide the feedstock for the Petroleum, Chemical and Petrochemical Investment Region (PCPIR) that the Indian government plans to set up in Paradip, IOC said in its statement.
