Petrochemical Industries

Petrochemical Industry plays a significant role in Iran’s economy; it supplies feedstock and raw material to many local downstream industries, produces and exports petrochemical products, creates jobs and is an important source of generating foreign currency. Therefore, petrochemical units will be constructed in the PSEEZ.

A plot of land with an area of ‎‏920‏‎ hectares spanning for ‎‏5‏‎ km from the western ‎side of the site, beside desalination and power plants, to entrance road of the port ‎‎(borderline between phases ‎‏4‏‎ and ‎‏5‏‎) is allocated to establish ‎petrochemical units.‎

The most important petrochemical projects in the PSEEZ are: ‎ 

·     9th  Olefin, ‎‏10th  Olefin, ‎‏4th  Methanol, ‎‏4th  Urea and Ammonia, Ethane ‎recovery, Styrene Monomer and Polystyrene, Petrochemical Port, ‎central utilities, ‎‏6th  Methanol and DME.‎

·    ‏11th  Olefin, ‎‏12th  Olefin, ‎‏6th  Urea and Ammonia, ‎‏8th  Urea and ‎Ammonia and HDP Assaluyeh.‎
