TEHRAN (NIPNA) -- Pardis Petrochemical Plant can supply 4.5 percent of the world’s urea demand.

Over 67 million tons of urea is traded in the world annually of which 3 million tons (4.5%) is supplied by Pardis Petrochemical Plan in Iran.

The company supplied 180,000 tons of the item only in January 2018.

Regarded as Iran’s biggest supplier of ammonia and urea, the complex comprises three phases for production of urea and ammonia, with 3 mt/y of urea and 2mt/y of ammonia production capacity.

Pardis petrochemical complex is located on 64.5- ha plot of land in the South Pars Special Economic Zone in close proximity to the town of Assaluyeh, 270km south-east of Bushehr Port.

High production volume, utilizing modern technologies, meeting environmental standards, easy access to the natural gas as feedstock, the existence of marine transportation and facilities such as large-capacity storage tanks and warehouses, and an exclusive jetty used for exports; all provide this company with bright perspective as far as its international marketing activities and position is concerned.

The construction of phase 1 of this complex, with an annual production capacity of 677,000 tons of Ammonia and 1.073 million tons of Urea, began in 2001 - in line with the policies of the Iranian Ministry of Petroleum for the development of the huge South Pars gas field - to achieve self-sufficiency in the production of Urea. This phase of the complex became operational in November 2007. Subsequently, phase 2 of the complex was commissioned in 2010.
