Speaking
to NIPNA, Ali Mohammad Bossaqzadeh, director of production control at NPC, said
France’s Air Liquide, Germany’s Lurgi GmbH and Denmark’s Haldor Topsoe have
voiced their readiness to collection excess gasses like CO2 and hydrogen in Iran
and turn them into urea and ammonia in Iran’s energy hub, Assalouyeh.
The zone
abounds with gasses that need to be gathered and turned into value-added items,
the official said.
He further
said there are a number of petrochemical facilities in the region that produce
CO2 which can be gathered, too.
Bossaqzadeh
argued that gathering such items can be economically advantages while saving
the environment.
Given the
activities of many refineries and petrochemical facilities in Assalouyeh,
abundant CO2, hydrogen and nitrogen gasses are available which can be used for production
of items.
The official
further added that 7,200 ton/d of ammonia and 9,400 t/d of urea can by produced
by gathering the gasses only in Assalouyeh.
