Univation Technologies, based in Houston, has announced that Nayara Energy Limited has chosen Univation’s Unipol PE process technology for a world-scale manufacturing plant in Vadinar, Gujarat. Nayara Energy’s new polyethylene project will construct a production line capable of producing 650,000 tonnes of PE per year.
Nayara Energy’s decision highlights the Unipol PE Process’ key advantages, including significant benefits in low capital investment expense (CAPEX) and highly competitive operating expense (OPEX), ensuring favourable production economics across Nayara Energy’s entire PE production slate, according to Univation.
The PE process’s exceptional PE resin product flexibility enables the production of a comprehensive variety of PE resins that cover key Indian PE market segments such as linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This flexibility allows Nayara Energy to adapt its production to the ever-changing India PE product market requirements.
Nathan Wiker, president of Univation Technologies, commented, “The Unipol PE Process offers a powerful mix of world-scale capacity, cost efficiency, and PE product flexibility, enabling Nayara Energy to seek and satisfy ever-evolving customer needs right now and into the future.”
Furthermore, Univation’s Premier APC+ 3.0 Advanced Process Control Platform will be integrated into Nayara Energy’s new polyethylene manufacturing line. This innovative process control system, specifically created for the Unipol process, will improve raw material yields, operational performance, and the efficient transition between different PE resin grades.
