Houston, June 27, 2025 - Univation Technologies, LLC announces that Nayara Energy Limited has selected Univation's UNIPOL™ PE Process Technology for a world-scale production line in Vadinar, Gujarat, India. Nayara Energy’s new polyethylene project will establish a production line with a capacity of 650,000 tonnes per annum of polyethylene (PE).
Nayara Energy's decision underscores the UNIPOL™ PE Process' key advantages including substantial benefits in low capital investment expense (CAPEX) and highly competitive operating expense (OPEX) which ensures advantaged production economics across Nayara Energy’s entire PE production slate. The UNIPOL™ PE Process’ superior PE resin product flexibility allows for the manufacture of a full range of PE resins covering essential Indian PE market segments including linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This flexibility enables Nayara Energy with excellent production adaptability to meet the ever-evolving India PE product market requirements.
Nathan Wiker, president of Univation Technologies, commented, “The UNIPOL™ PE Process offers a powerful mix of world-scale capacity, cost efficiency, and PE product flexibility, enabling Nayara Energy to seek and satisfy ever-evolving customer needs right now and into the future.” Nathan continued, “We’re honored to be selected for this important project and Univation is fully committed to supporting Nayara Energy through every project phase—timely plant construction, comprehensive commissioning activities, and a safe and successful start-up.”
Key features of the UNIPOL™ PE Process design selected by Nayara Energy include:
- World-Scale Production Capacity
The selected process design includes a nameplate polyethylene production capacity of 650,000 tonnes per annum enables Nayara Energy to capitalize on significant economies of scale, enhancing overall production efficiency, and delivering on cost competitiveness in global markets. - Cost-Effective Design
The UNIPOL™ PE Process is distinguished by its low capital expenditure and operating expense thus reducing the total cost of ownership across the life-of-the-plant while providing top-tier operational performance. - Versatility Across Polyethylene End-Use Applications
The UNIPOL™ PE Process offers full production flexibility across a broad spectrum of polyethylene grades, including both high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and linear lowdensity polyethylene (LLDPE), ensuring that Nayara Energy can effectively respond to dynamic market demands and providing the agility to serve both specialty and largevolume end-use PE applications. - Comprehensive Technical Support
Nayara Energy will benefit from Univation’s extensive technical support services, which span the entire project lifecycle. This includes expert guidance during the design and construction phases, hands-on support throughout plant commissioning, and ongoing assistance to ensure a safe and efficient plant start-up and sustained operations.
Furthermore, Univation's PREMIER™ APC+ 3.0 Advanced Process Control Platform will be integrated into Nayara Energy's new polyethylene production line. This advanced process control system, specifically designed for the UNIPOL™ PE Process, will optimize raw material yields, enable superior operational performance, and ensure efficient transitions between different PE resin grades. PREMIER™ APC+ 3.0 Process Control will contribute significantly to Nayara Energy achieving top-tier operational metrics in operating uptime, raw material utilization, and on-specification production.
