Sabalan Petrochemical Plant to Come On Stream
TEHRAN (Shana) -- The CEO of Sepehr Energy Holding Behrouz Abbasi said that Sabalan petrochemical plant will be officially commissioned in the coming weeks as one of the three methanol-producing petrochemical projects of the holding with a capacity of 1,650,000 tons per year.
Abbasi said, "By exploiting the Sabalan Petrochemical project, direct employment for 300 people will be provided.”
He continued: "Sabalan Project, as one of the plans designated for the second leap of Iran’s petrochemical industry, is ready to be exploited despite the fact that it faced many problems after the imposition of oppressive sanctions on the country; fortunately, with planning and tapping the capabilities of local engineers and manufacturers, not only the project did not stop, but also the catalysts required for this petrochemical plant were supplied locally for the first time.”
Sabalan, Dena and Siraf petrochemical plants are subsidiaries of Sepehr Energy Holding and are expected to enhance Iran’s methanol production capacity by 5 million tons after full operation.

Capacity
The CEO of Parsian Sepehr Refining Company said Parsian Sepehr Refining Project is developed to supply 1.3 million tons per year of ethane to olefin units in the petrochemical industry of the country.
Mahmoud Zirakchianzadeh told Shana that development of the massive project was handed over to the executive headquarters of Farman Imam back in 2014 with the aim of recovering ethane and heavier ethane components, and the first letters of credit for the project were opened from the National Development Fund of Iran in November 2016.
The plant was launched by Iranian experts and was officially inaugurated on Thursday, April 15, by the order of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
He added that Parsian Sepehr refinery project has been developed with the state-of-the-art technologies by relying on the expertise of local experts; the plant is constructed in two parts: ethane extraction unit at Mohr Site in Mohr County and Parsian Sepehr refining complex as final ethane separation unit at Assaluyeh Site.
Zirakchianzadeh, noting that 16 million tons of annually produced methane is one of the largest environmental benefits of this project and is allocated to the city gas distribution network from the Mohr Site, said: "The ethane produced in this site will be used for final separation and annual production of 3.3 million tons of ethane, propane, butane and gas condensate as the main product to be transported to Assaluyeh Site by an 18-inch pipeline with a length of roughly 63 km.”
He emphasized that for construction of the pipeline, horizontal directional drilling in the mountains (HDD) was adopted for the first time in the country and about 6 million cubic meters of mountain digging operations were carried out.
