Construction of Linde Project in Iran to begin soon

TEHRAN, Oct. 14 (Shana) -- Iran is to start construction of a petrochemical project whose development has been agreed with the partnership of Germany's Chemical Giant Linde Group.

Morteza Azizi, managing director of Parsian Oil and Gas Development Company, said the company is about to start construction of Kian Petrochemical Plant, whose development has been agreed with Linde Group in the post-Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) setting.

He said the project is being developed for production of new petrochemical and polymer products and completion of the sector's value chain.

"Besides licensing the project and providing engineering services, Linde has signaled readiness to invest in the project," Azizi said.

Once operational, the facility will annually supply 4 million tons of various petrochemical products including ethylene, propylene, Para xylene, orthoenzene, styrene, propylene oxide, and butadiene.

The plant's feedstock will include naphtha produced by SIRAF refinery park, light cuts from Noori Petrochemical Plant, carbon and heavy cuts from Kavian, Mehr, Morvarid Petrochemical Plant and ethane produced by South Pars refineries.
