According to the plant’s CEO, Seyed Reza Ghasemi Shahri said on Monday
that the company had boosted its output and its output exceeded the plant’s
nameplate capacity in the first 7 months of the current calendar year.
The company launched a project to enhance the output of its POLY H
unit on Monday.
“The project is aimed at removing production bottlenecks and optimizing
operation of the unit in terms of quality and quantity,” he said, adding that
the project had brought the unit’s production capacity from 132,000 tons per
year to 158,000 tons a year.
The official further said that nearly 700,000 man/hours had been spent
for completion of the project, adding, “The plant’s output has increased year-on-year
despite US sanctions on Iran.”
Shahri said his company had defined over 25 environmental projects
which were scheduled to come on stream from next year.
