MOSCOW (MRC) -- Reliance Industries has chosen the LyondellBasell Lupotech T process technology for its low density polyethylene (LDPE) plant to be constructed at the company's refinery in Jamnagar, India, according to LyondellBasell's press release.
According to Bob Patel, Senior Vice President of Olefins and Polyolefins, Europe, Asia, International and Technology at LyondellBasell, this is the company's 23rd Lupotech T license granted over the past 10 years with nearly 11 million tonnes of licensed capacity to date.
