Marjan Petrochem Plant Reduces Production Costs, Gas Consumption

The methanol production cost in Marjan Petrochemical Plant has declined by about $625,000 per month by renovating the current burners of furnaces and installing new burners at the methanol production unit, a faculty member at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Tehran said. 
“The achievement is the result of the work of researchers of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in modeling, optimizing and designing primary burners to provide the heat energy required for the endothermic reaction of methanol production from natural gas in the petrochemical industry,” Alireza Jalali was also reported as saying by the Oil Ministry’s news service.
“Considering the importance of exercising the accurate control of heat in different parts of reactors, burners are one of the main tools in advancing the goals of petrochemical units,” he added.
