Iran: Lordegan Petchem Plant Launches Ammonia Unit

The CEO of Lordegan Petrochemical Company announced the launch of the ammonia unit of the complex in the year of production leap.

 

Mohsen Mahmoudi announced this, and pointed out that the project has been launched with the aim of producing 677,000 tons of ammonia, reported the Persian Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company (PGPIC).

 

The urea and ammonia units of the plant are designed in three stages; the first stage is utility and is fully operational. The second phase is the production of ammonia, which is now in operation and is in the final stages of urea production with a capacity of about one million tons per year, which, God willing, will be operational next month, he said.

 

Mahmoudi said inauguration of the unit was important because of the absence of foreign contractors in the project.

 

Referring to the positive effects of the project for the region's economic development, he said: "With the full opening of this petrochemical plant, 600 people will be directly employed and 2,000 people will be hired indirectly.”

 

Lordegan Petrochemical Company has been built on a 100-hectare land in the Felard region (55 km from Lordegan city) in Lordegan city, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province.
