Petrochem Complex in Khuzestan

Construction of a new petrochemical complex in Andimeshk, Khuzestan Province, started at the weekend.
The project seeks to develop the value chain of methane as in the first phase. Annual production capacity will be 200,000 tons of monoethylene glycol (MEG) and 25,000 tons of ethylene glycol (EG), ISNA reported.
MEG is an important raw material with industrial applications. A primary use of MEG is in the manufacture of polyester (PET) resins, films and fibers. It is also used in the production of antifreeze, coolants, aircraft anti-icer and solvents.
