GAIL’s new PE

GAIL (India) Limited has started its first UNIPOL™ PE Process line with the capacity to produce 400,000 tons of polyethylene (PE) per annum at the 810,000 tons per annum petrochemical plant at Pata in Uttar Pradesh.

GAIL’s flexible high-density polyethylene (HDPE)/linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) swing plant provides access to a full range of resin applications, which will allow customers to capture new market opportunities as PE market demands are changing.

The new process line gives GAIL the platform to expand its PE product capabilities, providing Indian PE converters with the high-quality, domestically produced resin products needed for large-volume markets as well as advanced performance applications.

Introduction of UNIPOL™ PE Resin products in the Indian market has started receiving positive feedback from customers.

The U.S.-based Univation Technologies team provided support to the project from commissioning through start-up of the new plant. fii-news.com
