Mohammad Ali Dadvar said the plant was now processing 450,000 barrels of gas condensate, adding the refinery supplied 47 ml/d of Euro-5 petrol.

He said each phase of the plant operated at 150,000 b/d of processing capacity, adding that by optimizing processes in the facility, 90,000 b/d had been added to the plant’s daily production capacity.

Plans are under way to add another 90,000 b/d to the refinery’s capacity by the end of the current calendar year to March 20, he added.

Dadvar further said that the naphtha output of the facility was at an average of 40 to 50,000 b/d which was consumed by Arak and Tabriz petrochemical plants.
