10 environmental projects underway at South Pars Refinery 6

SHANA (Tehran) – The manager of South Pars Refinery 6 announced the implementation of 10 operational and environmental projects aimed at reducing flaring and optimizing sulfur recovery units. He reported that these projects are currently 58% complete.

Hassan Asadi emphasized the importance of sustaining gas and byproduct production at Refinery 6, stating that one of the facility's key objectives is maintaining the operational conditions of all sulfur recovery unit trains.

Highlighting measures taken to stabilize the unit's performance, Asadi noted several actions, including the repair and overhaul of incinerators, addressing leaks in process lines and cooling water networks, replacing the amine section of the concentrator, renewing absorber tower packing, fixing leaks in process exchanger tubes, replacing reactor catalysts, and supplying previous blowers. These efforts were undertaken to enhance the unit's efficiency.

Asadi also detailed 10 projects at Refinery 6 aimed at improving environmental and operational performance. These include the renovation and reconstruction of SRU, AGE, and TGTU units, completing the piping for trim coolers in the 101 gas train, installing and commissioning three centrifugal pumps in Unit 125, renovating Unit 144, reinforcing the structure and foundations of the sulfur recovery unit, optimizing the design of sulfur recovery units, modifying 28-inch pipelines between reactors and heat exchangers, and upgrading sulfur rundown lines from condensers with the addition of a second path. These projects are critical to enhancing the refinery's environmental performance.

Asadi stressed the implementation of projects targeting emissions reduction, such as operating gas trains without flaring, installing a second trim cooler for sulfur recovery units, and executing the amine-amine exchanger and second trim cooler project for the AGE unit. He explained that most of these projects aim to reduce flaring and SO2 emissions in the sulfur recovery unit, with 58% progress achieved so far. Upon completion, the refinery's environmental performance is expected to improve significantly.

Asadi concluded that by precisely identifying environmental challenges, necessary measures have been taken to control and resolve them. He predicted that the completion of ongoing projects will optimize the refinery's operational conditions.
