The project was inaugurated in a ceremony held in the presence of the President's Office Chief on Thursday.

Mahmoud Vaezi, Chief of the President's Office, said: "The opening of this project will create a very important improvement in Tabriz Petrochemical Company, given that the pipeline would facilitate feedstock supply to the plant.”

By linking West Ethylene Pipeline to TPC, the plant’s output will increase from 440,000 tons/year to 1.2 mt/y, said Vaezi.

Launched with Rls. 860 billion, the project entails 165 km of pipeline from Miandoab Petrochemical Plant to TPC and comprises 8 compressors. The normal capacity of the West Ethylene Transmission Pipeline to Tabriz Petrochemical Complex is 10 tons per hour and its capacity is to increase to 10 tons per hour by 2022.
