Hegmataneh Petrochem Plant to Start Production in Spring

Construction of Hegmataneh Petrochemical Plant in Hamedan Province is almost over and it will start production next spring, managing director of the National Petrochemical Company said.
“Designed to produce medical-grade PVC, the plant will be the 57th petrochemical company active in the country,” Behzad Mohammadi was quoted as saying by the Oil Ministry news agency Shana.
PVC produced in the facility is of special importance as it is used in manufacturing a variety of products for hospitals and pharmaceutical firms. 
Hegmataneh will be the first of its kind to produce such PVC compounds.
Ibn Sina Petrochemical Plant is also under construction in Hamedan, Mohammadi said. Royal Dutch Shell PLC, British-Dutch oil and gas company, has invested $350 million in the project.
