Managing director of Assalouyeh Green Tank
Farm Petrochemical Company Rastegar told NIPNA that the project has progressed
over 83% and will come on-stream by the end of the current Iranian calendar
year to March 20.
"The Green Tank Farm is a strategic
unit for storage and transportation of petrochemical liquids in phase two of
Pars Special Economic Energy Zone in Assalouyeh (south of Iran)," he said.
He said the farm is equipped with propane
and butane tanks that need between 18 to 24 months for construction and can
persevere temperatures below -60 degrees, adding the tanks will come online in
the first half of the next year.
The farm, covering 47 hectares of land, can
store up to 1.3 million tons of petrochemicals and its methanol tank will store
up to 1.65 million tons of the item annually.
