Ilam Gas Refinery Moving Toward Chemical, Parts Self-Sufficiency

Ilam Gas Refining Company in Ilam Province has started using domestically manufactured molecular sieves and catalysts, which were previously imported from European companies, to support knowledge-based companies and facilitate their expansion, managing director of the refinery said.
“By collaborating with capable knowledge-based companies, the refinery has taken good measures in line with the policies of self-sufficiency to reduce dependence on foreign countries,” Rouhollah Nourian was also quoted as saying by the Oil Ministry’s news service.
Referring to chemicals used in the refinery, he said molecular sieves for the dehumidification unit, as well as aluminum and titanium catalysts for the sulfur and active carbon recycling unit, have been supplied by Iranian knowledge-based companies.
