Addressing a virtual press conference on
Saturday, Hassan Neshanzadeh said that his company accounted for 27 percent of
the Middle East’s PVC output, while the region enjoyed a 57% share in the
global PVC market.
He said Arvand Petrochemical Plant was Iran’s
largest supplier of the chlorine chain and provides the item for other
petrochemical plants including Bandar Emam, Khuzestan, Karoon and Ghadir.
According to Neshanzadeh, the plant has recently
become an exporter of caustic, adding plans were under way to bring the
facility’s productivity to 90% of its nameplate capacity which is 340,000 tons
per year of PVC.
Last year the company supplied 310,000 tons of
the item.
Neshanzadeh also said that his company had joined
a knowledge-based company to increase its output by 10% by merely optimizing
processes.
