TEHRAN (NIPNA) – Iran’s Arghavan Gostar Ilam petrochemical project has taken a major step toward production with the start-up of its main reactor, a senior official at Persian Gulf Petrochemical Industries Co. (PGPIC) said on Wednesday.

 

Mahmoud Aminnejad, vice president for planning and business development at PGPIC, said stable feedstock supply and utilities are being secured using the holding company’s full capacity to ensure continuous operations, NIPNA reported.

“Projects at the final stage face their hardest and most sensitive phase. The current team at Petrochemical Investment Holding (Petrol) has played a crucial role in passing this stage,” Aminnejad said during a site visit on Tuesday.

Adel Nejad-Salim, adviser to PGPIC’s CEO, praised the efforts of the project team, highlighting the combination of young motivated staff and experienced experts. He said preparations for marketing and maintenance should begin ahead of the plant’s official inauguration.

Hamidreza Khalili, CEO of Petrol, said the new plant would expand the company’s propylene downstream chain, generating significant value for shareholders, Ilam province and Iran’s economy.

Ashkan Dashtizadeh, CEO of Arghavan Gostar Ilam, confirmed the continuous operation of the unit’s extruder, activation of the main polymerisation reactor and the start of polypropylene production processes. “This is a technical milestone, and we will soon witness polypropylene output,” he said.
