As part of its ongoing expansions, Reliance Industries is proposing to build new plants for producing EDC, cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM) and polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PET-G). In addition, the project includes a new incinerator in the VCM plant and a CO2 recovery unit in the ethylene oxide/glycol plant.
Capacity of the EDC plant will be sufficient to feed a 500,000 t/y VCM/PVC facility. DMD already produces 360,000 t/y of VCM/PVC and has approval to build a new VCM/PVC plant with a capacity of 1.2m t/y.
The PETG plant will have a capacity of 200,000 t/y while the CHDM unit will produce 50,000 t/y. CHDM is a feedstock for producing PETG as well as various other polymers.

The challenge
To address potential risks and hazards associated with the project during the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) phase, Process Risk Consulting were commissioned to facilitate the Project Risk Assessment, Hazard Identification (HAZID), Environmental Identification (ENVID), Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS), Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Allocation Workshops , in line with ENI Guidelines for the Protos pipeline and associated facilities.
The scope of workshop included all of the onshore transport and storage facilities including several onshore pipelines and Above Ground Installations (AGI’s).
