According to a report from the Persian Gulf Petrochemical
Industries Company (PGPIC) covering December 2025, the energy intensity of the
complex has declined significantly in recent months.
Amin Malekzadeh, head of the complex, said the reduction
results from a series of targeted operational and technical initiatives. Among
them, the first-time injection of recovered LPS steam into the CTA-1
turbo-compressor saved an estimated 20 tons of steam per hour.
Other measures, including optimization of energy use,
online monitoring of heat exchanger networks, and recovery of cooling water
blowdowns, led to additional savings of about 1 megawatt of electricity and 121
cubic meters of water per hour.
Malekzadeh highlighted that improving the efficiency of
energy recovery systems by identifying production bottlenecks and operating
units at higher capacities was key to achieving these results.
The energy efficiency improvements position Shahid
Tondgouyan Petrochemical as a leading example in Iran’s petrochemical sector
for sustainable and cost-effective operations.
