RIL closed Jamnagar refinery for 2-3 weeks

Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) closed its old crude distillation unit (CDU) at its refinery at Jamnagar in Gujarat for three weeks in July. The 3,25,000 barrels per day refinery’s CDU was closed starting July 3 for maintenance. The closure of the CDU, Reliance said, did not affect product sales and dispatches, as the refinery’s other units continued to operate normally. The CDU, the company said, is involved in converting crude oil into petroleum products. (July 3, 2009)
