According
to Gholamhossein Ramezanpour, the refinery’s CEO, "The project to produce normal
hexane, which is to be officially inaugurated by the President in the coming
days via a video conference, will seriously prevent the outflow of currency and
import of this item.”
The
official said construction of the project started in late November 2018 and its
first section which included piping, etc., was put into operation in February
of 2019.
He
stated that the main purpose of the project was to produce normal hexane, which
is used as petrochemical feedstock, and added: "By implementing this
project, a large amount of foreign exchange has been prevented from being spent
for exporting this item."
