Operator of Karoon Petrochemical Complex said on Monday that phase two of the plan has come online and it has sent a 50-ton and 16-ton aniline cargoes to India.
Mohammad Miri said the methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) unit of the plant is unparalleled in the region and the Middle East.
He said the unit came on-stream last month and is now operating at 110% of its nameplate capacity.
The unit can supply 40,000 tons of the item annually.
Karoon Petrochemical Plant has purchased high-tech technologies for production of MDI and TDI from Sweden's Comator. The Swedish firm was a partner in Karoon Petrochemical Project prior to imposition of sanctions on Tehran's nuclear program.
