“Due to possible problems with regard to the shortage of this compressor, its manufacturing was placed on the agenda of the refiner’s self-sufficiency committee and the machinery unit of the refiner manufactured it in cooperation with domestic companies,” he said.  

Ebdali said domestic manufacturing of outer end suction valves will save Iran money and blunt the impact of sanctions against Iran’s energy sector.

He said that the manufacturing of valves started two years ago, adding that they have undergone the necessary tests.
