Reliance to shut down Jamnagar Refinery's distillation unit for maintenance

Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) is planning to shut down one of its four crude distilation units for maintenance & inspection (M&I) activities from March 20, 2014 for about 3.5 weeks. “As a normal practice, opportunity would be utilised to carry out necessary modifications to improve the reliability and performance of the unit,” said the company in a press release.
 
The planned shutdown will also be utilised for catalyst replacement of VGO and naphtha hydrotreater. The rest of the refinery will continue at normal levels of operations.
