Condensate Delivery to Thermal Power Stations Will Start in Winter: TPPHC

As soon as mercaptan removal units in gas refineries of South Pars Gas Field in the southern Bushehr Province become operational, natural gas will be replaced with condensates in thermal power plants, managing director of Iran's Thermal Power Plants Holding Company said.
“Condensates contain a gas called mercaptan that must be removed before it can be used as feedstock, otherwise a foul smell will waft up as it burns,” Mohsen Tarztalab was also quoted as saying by ILNA.
Mercaptan removal units are expected to become operational in Asalouyeh in November and till then, the addition of condensates to thermal power stations’ fuel inventory is out of the question, he added.
