Iran’s petrochemical catalyst export has grown significantly over the past two years. Petrochemical Research and Technology Company (PRTC), currently accounting for 30% of Iran’s petroleum industry catalyst, has announced that the technical know-how for 97% of the catalyst is now homegrown. Majid Daftari, the CEO of PRTC, tells “Iran Petroleum” that Iran would be able to export 1,000 tonnes of catalysts a year, noting that CIS and South American nations would be among the major buyers.
