Tabriz Petrochem Firm Completes $20 Million Propylene Value Chain

To double the production capacity of polymer products, Tabriz Petrochemical Company in East Azarbaijan Province has launched a polypropylene production unit under the license of China’s Shenzhen ENCO Company, TPCO’s managing director said.
“Aimed at completing the value chain of propylene, the plant was completed over three years at an estimated cost $20 million,” Siavash Derafshi was also quoted as saying by the National Petrochemical Company’s news portal.
The new unit has an annual capacity of 30,000 tons of polypropylene, he added, noting that TPCO will also start the annual production of 310,000 tons of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) in 2023.
When the under-construction unit becomes fully operational, the production capacity of polymer products in the complex will double.
