Siavash Darvishi told NIPNA about
signature of a contract with the Petrochemical Research and Technology Company
(PRTC) for building the plant which would be built by fully relying on local
technical savvy.
He said: “This is an honor for TPC
that after many years of reliance on foreign knowhow and licensing, is now
about to supply the global markets with a fully localized product.”
Derafshi said the project would take
4 years to complete, adding it would yield pipe and film-grade polyethylene besides
a catalyst production unit.
Moreover, the plant would be fed
by West Ethylene Pipeline.
Inauguration of the plant will
enhance TPC’s production capacity of polyolefins and polyethylene, he further
added.
