Haldia Petrochemicals Plans LPG Shift
Haldia Petrochemicals aims to increase LPG substitution at its naphtha cracker up to 30 percent. The move hedges against supply risks from the Middle East conflict. The company is working with Lummus and plans to finalize the retrofitting strategy by year end.
India's Haldia Petrochemicals will raise liquefied petroleum gas substitution to 30% at its naphtha cracker by late evening on Wednesday. The move follows Middle East supply disruptions stemming from the United States-Iran war. The shift aims to insulate feedstock supplies after Strait of Hormuz shipping lanes faced severe bottlenecks.
