Bu Ali Sina Petrochemical Company to Raise Output

The construction of a paraxylene unit of Bu Ali Sina Petrochemical Company in Mahshahr, Khuzestan Province, is expected to become complete in February, the deputy director of the company said.
“The paraxylene unit of the complex was damaged in a fire accident in 2016 so the design and construction of a new unit were started by Iranian experts and engineers. Now almost all the equipment are installed and the unit will be ready for launch in about a month,” Ardalan Sedaqatzadeh was also quoted as saying by the National Petrochemical Company’s news portal. 
“When the unit stopped operating, the reformate product of the complex was exported. With the launch of the new unit, it will turn into paraxylene, which is a more valuable product with higher added value,” he said.
