We are planning to receive butane and butene from refineries near the plant. This is more
economical than obtaining butane and conducting a catalytic cracking and refining to extract butene.
Cetex Petrochemicals, catering to the market in South East Asia, uses raw materials received through
pipeline from Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited (CPCL), Govt of India undertaking - an
integrated petrochemical refinery complex (very close to the plant)
Plant Location
● Since we’ll be receiving raw material (butane and butene) from a refinery, an ideal location
would be where the refineries are large scale and pipelines can be used to receive the raw
materials
● We chose Gujarat as a plant location because of the following reasons:
○ We can set up a plant in proximity to refineries. Example: Reliance Oil Refinery, Jamnagar
○ It is closer to the coast - hence a strategic location for exports and imports
○ Industrial taxes are favourable and will help make our plant more economical
○ Industrial belt in that area which use MEK will also boost sales
