TEHRAN Dec 19 (Shana): National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company (NIORDC) intends to set up a joint venture with an Iranian consortium comprising seven academic and engineering centers in a bid to meet technical expertise for building Pars Refinery.

NIORDC’s director for research and technology, Esatollah Jodaki, made the remarks adding the indigenization of technical expertise of building oil refineries is on the top agenda of the company.

To this end the company plans to sign a contract with an academic and engineering consortium to meet technical expertise for seven refining units of Pars oil refinery which is going to be build in Fars province, Jodaki said.
   
He went on to say that under the contract, which is going to be signed February 2013, academic centers will be responsible for providing scientific knowledge including catalysts while engineering companies will deploy their valuable experiences in implementation of the project.

According to NIORDC’s official, 10 credible engineering companies are engaged in refining projects in the country of which several companies will be chosen for signing the contract.

With regard to having access to huge reserves of gas condensate at South Pars gas field, south of Iran, the refinery will use gas condensate as feedstock instead of crude oil, an issue that requires some changes in the catalysts and the refinery units, the official noted.

He continued: It is expected the country no longer be dependent on either foreign companies’ technical expertise or their presence in the country.

120 thousand barrels gas condensate Pars Refinery will produce 12 million liters of gasoline per day. The refinery will receive its intake from Assaluyeh, onshore installation of South Pars gas field, through an under construction 430 kilometers length pipeline.    

Par refinery will produce oil products compatible with Eupr-5 specifications and sulfur content of its gasoline will be less than 10 ppm.
