Leading a team for the proposed petrochemical complex consisting of multifeed cracker, HDPE, LLDPE, EO / MEG, EB / Styrene, PP, Benzene Recovery, C4 Hydrogenation, MTBE or ETBE, Butene - 1, Paraxylene, PTA, LAB, Oxo alcohol, acrylics, screening of alternatives. Conceptual scheme for develop[ed business development plan initiated. Coordinated with EIL for DFR; with NEERI for EIA. Coordinated with many licensors to get proposals; the proposals were evaluated and technology selection done.

This is a grass-root Petrochemicals Complex comprising Naphtha Cracker, Butadiene, Pyrolysis Gasoline Hydrogenation (PGH), Benzene, C4 Hydrogenation (CHU), HDPE, LLDPE and Polypropylene Plants. During the project, the responsibilities included selection of technologies for Cracker, Butadiene, Benzene, PGH and CHU; finalising the Licence Agreements; Process Design Basis and interacting with the Licensors to complete the Basic Engineering Packages; Evaluation of Cracker LSTK Bids, awarded the contract & ...
