TEHRAN, Feb. 20 (NIPNA) – A 164-megawatt power generation unit at Iran's Fajr Energy Persian Gulf Company's Zone 2 plant has successfully returned to operation following major repairs, enhancing production stability in the region's petrochemical complexes.


The project, reported by state media citing the company's public relations on Monday, emphasized domestic manufacturing of Iranian-made parts and utilization of local builders, marking a significant step in reducing foreign currency dependence and bolstering the internal supply chain.

During the overhaul, compressor blades and turbine insulators were designed and produced by Iranian firms and integrated into service, facilitating technology transfer and achieving a new level of industrial self-reliance.

Additionally, key turbine sections were renovated and rebuilt through ongoing company maintenance efforts and support from balancing service providers on a broad scale to improve equipment reliability and operational stability.

A key aspect of the repairs involved addressing vibration sources in the turbine and enhancing its dynamic performance.

The unit's reinstatement strengthens the reliable supply of essential utilities and ensures continuous output at petrochemical facilities in the area.
