According to the plant,
the project was launched on Wednesday in a ceremony held in the presence of Issa
Kalantari, Vice President and Head of the Department of Environment.
Siavash Derfashi, the
CEO of Tabriz Petrochemical Company, in this ceremony, considered the operation
of this plant as a golden leaf on the greenness of the company, and stated: “In
this project, first the surfaces of all ponds and open equipment were covered
with special aluminum sheets and the flow of gases containing “voc” were sucked
and collected by suctioners from the surface of the ponds and directed to the
furnaces.”
Referring to 110
hectares of green space created inside Tabriz Petrochemical Complex and 6
hectares of green space outside of it, he said: "This complex is higher
than the existing standards in energy management and uses the classification,
identification and separation system to seek production of valuable gases that
can be reused or sold after process modification.”
Derfashi stated that
TPC is the first company to implement environmental system management, adding,
in 2018, this complex was ranked first by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO).
