Director of projects at the National
Petrochemical Company (NPC) Ali Mohammad Bossaqzadeh said 30 projects were under
construction throughout the country with the aim of completing the petrochemical
value-chain.
“Completion of the petrochemical value-chain is
one of the main policies of the National Petrochemical Company, and this issue
has become more prominent in recent years,” said the official.
He added: "In line with this policy, we are
trying to diversify products in new projects and make sure there is a
production chain for end-user items."
He said over 18 GTX projects were being carried
out in Chabahar and Qeshm, adding 10 PDH units to convert natural gas to
propane and polypropylene were under way in Assaluyeh and Mahshahr, in southern

"Fortunately, many of the projects under construction are over 90% complete
which include Lordegan Petrochemical Unit, Olefin Project in Ilam, Miandoab Petrochemical
Plant, Kaveh Methanol Unit and Phase 1 of Bushehr Petrochemical Plant.
