During a high-profile visit to the complex as part of the
"Economic Wednesdays" initiative, East Azerbaijan Governor Bahram
Sarmast led a delegation of senior provincial and national officials, including
Mehdi Karami, Executive Vice President of Ghadir Investment Group; Seyyed Jafar
Hashemi, CEO of Parsian Oil and Gas Development Group; and Maboud Abbaszadeh,
Deputy for Company Affairs at Ghadir Investment Group.
The joint presence of these top-level executives underscored the
strategic importance of the site and renewed investor commitment to Tabriz
Petrochemical’s growth projects.
The delegation toured production units, environmental initiatives, and
development projects, with special attention given to a strategic high-density
polyethylene (HDPE) project with an annual capacity of 310,000 tonnes. The
plant is expected to significantly strengthen the value chain and boost the
complex’s production capabilities.
Another key focus was the wastewater reuse project, designed to utilize
treated effluent from Tabriz’s main sewage treatment plant for industrial
operations. The initiative aims to reduce reliance on freshwater sources and
exemplifies sustainable industrial practices. Officials praised the project as
a model for aligning industrial processes with modern environmental approaches.
“Tabriz Petrochemical Company is deeply committed to aligning
industrial development with environmental preservation,” Mirashrafi said. “We
are employing cutting-edge technologies and are focused on expanding green
spaces as part of our development model.”
Governor Sarmast emphasized the plant’s vital role in the economic and
industrial development of East Azerbaijan, pledging full provincial support to
remove bottlenecks and expedite the execution of ongoing projects.
Among other attendees were Taher Rouhi, Deputy Governor for Economic
Affairs; Saber Parnian, Director General of Industry, Mine, and Trade of East
Azerbaijan; and Mohammad Hossein Hassanzadeh, head of the province’s Department
of Environment.
Their visit provided firsthand insight into the progress of the
company’s development initiatives and reaffirmed public sector backing for
continued sustainable growth in the region's petrochemical sector.
