Kohgilouyeh-Boyerahmad Accelerates Petrochemical, Refining Projects

Several petrochemical and refining projects are underway in Gachsaran County in Kohgilouyeh-Boyerahmad Province to make the county an energy hub in western Iran, the provincial governor said.
“The construction of Gachsaran Petrochemical Company is near completion and will become operational soon,” Seyyed Ali Ahmadzadeh was also quoted as saying by Naftema website.
Upon its launch, the complex will have a capacity of 1 million tons of ethylene per year, he added.
The plant will receive ethane as feedstock from Bidboland Persian Gulf Gas Refinery and turns it into ethylene, which will be sent to Mamasani, Kazeroun and Boroujen petrochemical companies as well as Dehdasht and Gachsaran polymer plants. Gachsaran Plant will also produce C3+ and hydrogen.
