The unit had been temporarily halted due to a sudden technical issue.
Intensive round-the-clock work by domestic specialists, including hundreds of
personnel from various departments, enabled the unit to restart at enhanced
output levels.
The extensive maintenance involved replacing 100-ton heavy reactors,
welding and replacing over 3,000 inches of pipelines, refurbishing towers and
heat exchangers, decoking cracking furnaces, and conducting advanced
inspections and overhauls of major equipment.
The entire operation amounted to over 64,000 man-hours without
incident, demonstrating strict adherence to safety protocols. As a result, the
VC unit achieved 103% of its planned production capacity, setting a daily
production record of 515 tons.
Officials said the achievement highlights the technical capabilities
of Bandar Imam Petrochemical’s workforce and will play a key role in
strengthening Iran’s PVC production chain.
