Speaking to
NIPNA, Masoud Saeidi Taheri said his company was to increase its polyethylene production
capacity by 12 percent by March 2020.
He outlined
the plant’s plans to boost its production capacity, saying last year the
company was able to offer 107% of its nominal polyethylene capacity.
In the
first six months of the current calendar year, which began on March 21,
production was 8% higher than its nominal capacity, he said.
“This plant
does not have any production bottlenecks and can increase its production
capacity by 10 to 12 percent,” the official added.
He said the
plant’s polyethylene production capacity currently stood at 300,000 tons per
year or 38 tons per hour.
“We hope
to increase the capacity to 43 or 44 tons per hour," Mr. Taheri said.
He further
stated that plans were under way to bring the facility’s production capacity to
345,000 tons per year by March 2020.
