MANGALORE REFINERY & PETROCHEMICALS
New PP line brought on stream / Output accounts for 10% of total Indian polypropylene capacities
Mangalore Refinery & Petrochemicals (MRPL, Mangalore / India; www.mrpl.co.in) on 27 February announced that it has commenced feed-in activity for its 440,000 t/y PP line in Mangalore. Commercial production is expected to begin shortly, the company said.
The line is integrated into MRPL’s feedstock production at the site, where it brought on stream a fluidised catalytic cracking unit last year that is capable of turning out 450,000 t/y of propylene – see also Plasteurope.com of 29.08.2014. A look at Plasteurope.com’s Polyglobe capacity database (www.polyglobe.net) shows that the new line makes MRPL India’s third largest PP producer, on the heels of Reliance and Indian Oil.
