The projects were Marjan Petrochemical Plant,
Phase III of Pardis Petrochemical Plant and Phase I of Damavand Petrochemical
Plant.
They add 3.4 million tons to the country's annual
petrochemical production capacity and have been build with $1.85 billion of
investment.
Construction of the third phase of the Pardis
Petrochemical Complex began in 2011 for production of 1, 750, 550 tons of urea
and ammonium annually.
With the official inauguration of the project,
this complex will become the largest producer of urea and ammonia in the Middle
East and the world with an annual production capacity of 5.265 million tons,
and about 300 jobs will be created. An investment of $570 million has been made
for construction of the project.
Construction of Marjan Petrochemical Plant began in
2011 for an annual production capacity of 1.65 million tons of methanol. The
unit has been productive for a while now but it is being officially inaugurated.
It is worth mentioning that this petrochemical
project has been put into operation for $914 million and has created employment
for 250 people directly.
Phase I of Damavand Utility Project is developed
for supplying electricity and steam for 24 adjacent petrochemical plants. The
unit is constructed with 648 megawatts of electricity production capacity and
will be run by 4 gas turbines. An investment $366 million was made for
construction of the plant which generated jobs for 166 people.
