ONGC gets clearance for C2-C3 recovery plant in Dahej

01-Aug-06

The ministry of environment and forests has given environmental clearance to ONGC's Rs 500-crore methane-propane (C2-C3) recovery plant in a special economic zone Dahej, Gujarat. The C2+ extraction project is to extract methane and propane from LNG sourced from Petronet LNG's Dahej terminal. C2 and C3 will form the feedstock for ONGC's petrochemicals complex at Dahej. Toyo Engineering has been awarded the EPC contract for the project, scheduled for completion by mid-2008. Upon completion, this will be one of ONGC's biggest plants. ONGC will be setting up this plant after a long gap - Uran and Hazira plants which were commissioned more than 15 years back.
