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.
