NPC’s Director for Production
Control Jalal Mir Hashemi, in an interview with NIPNA, underlined the favorable
upward trend of petrochemical production growth in the country, adding in the
past years and for certain reasons, part of the production capacity of
production complexes has not been exploited in Iran and plans are under way to
activate these potentialities in the coming year with the cooperation of petrochemical
holdings and companies which would add 2 million tons to the country’s annual petrochemical production capacity.
He said realization of the second
and third petrochemical leaps of the country were one of the key policies of the
NPC besides which are enhancing production and removing production bottlenecks
of the industry.
He said the optimal use of
installed capacity in the petrochemical industry and exploitation of empty
capacities could lead to the realization of the second development leap in the
petrochemical industry, adding: “By identifying and prioritizing removal of production
bottlenecks, we will be able to make use of potentialities without any major
capital as investments have already been made for their creation.”
