Behzad
Mohammadi, who is also deputy petroleum minister for petrochemical affairs, visited
the Arak Unit of PRTC and Shazand Petrochemical Company on the occasion of the Research
Day.
During the
visit, he said Shazand Petrochemical Company could be a good model for building
future units in the petrochemical industry, in a bid to help stabilize the
market of petrochemical items.
The official
said: “In fact, the Tehran Unit of PRTC is a petrochemical research and
technology center and the Arak Unit is a pilot unit and a demo plant. A great
deal of work in science and research has been done in the centers in recent years,
and we are witnessing its results.”
He said
PRTC had entered into good contracts with the oil industry and was moving to
commercialization of the technical knowledge of catalyst production.
“Furthermore,
there are significant measures in the know-how of processes and chemicals taken
by the company, and we hope that in the coming years, we will meet a
significant part of the industry's needs through this company.”
