Marun Petrochem Company to Help Preserve Environment, Complete Value Chain

Marun Petrochemical Complex in Mahshahr, Khuzestan Province, has recently launched a project to collect volatile organic compounds emissions from the surface of the evaporation ponds with the efforts of domestic experts and engineers, as the company moves to help protect the environment and become more eco-friendly, the company’s managing director said.
VOC emissions are considered a serious environmental problem in petrochemical industries. These gases are emitted from certain solids or liquids, and include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. They cause eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches and nausea, in addition to damaging the liver, kidney and central nervous system. 
“The petrochemical company is also pursuing projects in the field of completing the value chain,” Naftema website also quoted Amin Amraei as saying.
