Petrochem Company Indigenizes Equipment

In spite of international restrictions on accessing cutting-edge technology, Jam Petrochemical Company has indigenized gear pumps and reduction gearboxes, a deputy manager at Jam Petrochemical Complex in the port city of Asalouyeh, Bushehr Province, said.
"The efficiency of pumps is as high as 95% and because of their tiny dimension, they are highly suitable for hydroelectric systems," Mohammad Mehdi Moqimi was also quoted as saying by NIPNA, the National Petrochemical Company's news agency. 
According to the official, not only is mass production of the new pumps economically viable compared to imported ones, but they are also easier to maintain due to their simple design.
