Soon, in the presence of the CEO of Farhangian Reserve Fund, the project’s cooling tower, control room, flare and distillation unit will be launched
Javad Zarepour, CEO, and Mohammad Zain Al-Abedin, Deputy Director of Supervision and Technical Management of Petrofarhang Holding, reviewed the programs and status of the projects during a 2-day visit to the subsidiaries located in Assaluyeh.
According to the Public Relations and Brand Development of Petrofarhang Holding, after visiting all work fronts of Sabalan 2 Petrochemical Plant, the CEO of Petrofarhang emphasized the acceleration of implementation operations and said: Fortunately, after the expert merger of Sabalan and Dena companies 15 months ago, very significant progress has been achieved during this period and has now reached about 95%, which promises the launch of this project in the coming months, so that one of the largest projects of the Farhangian Reserve Fund will enter the production circuit and the holding’s inherent duty towards the shareholders of this fund will be implemented.
Continuing the meeting, which was held in the presence of Reza Karimi, CEO of the company, Zarepour said: According to the order of Dr. Ali Sadeghi, CEO of the Farhangian Reserve Fund, as well as the existing schedule in the holding, the progress of the project is monitored daily and revisions are made to accelerate it so that we do not witness a halt in the implementation operations like in previous years. This approach has led to significant progress compared to the same period before the merger. Therefore, we have continuously revised the engineering, financing, commercial and human resources programs in accordance with the current reality of the project, and at the same time, we have transformed the transfer of knowledge from Sabalan 1 into a current culture in the project. Therefore, we are grateful to all the managers and employees of the company.
Sepehr 4-star hotel will be put into operation in 1406
At the end of the first day, Zarepour visited the Sepehr 4-star hotel project in Shirino city in the presence of Khalil Sheikhian, CEO of Qotb Sepehr Lavan Petrochemical Company.
He said in a meeting with the contractors and consultants of this project: “No interruption or delay in the hotel’s operational operations is accepted by the contractor, and any kind of negligence will be pursued and dealt with legally according to the contract, because according to the plan, this project should be ready for operation in 1406. The operational operations of this project resumed after an 8-year hiatus at the end of last year, and with a forward-looking view, intra-group financing was considered for it, and at the same time, new uses were considered for the hotel to meet many of the needs of the city and hundreds of national projects located in Assaluyeh.
Zarepour added: “Unfortunately, the capacities of this company were neglected, so 3 4-star hotel plans, sports complexes, and a centralized warehouse complex were planned to help the company get out of this situation. Now, along with the progress of the hotel, two other plans are being designed and licensed, so that in the next 3 years, we will witness a new chapter of effective and profitable activity of this company in the holding.”
Cooperation between Petrofarhang and the National Development Fund to complete the Lavan downstream chemical project
The CEO of Petrofarhang, in the presence of Esmaeil Jalili, CEO of Lavan Chemical Company, visited the execution operations of the engineering buildings of this downstream project and, while reviewing the announced programs, emphasized the acceleration of the execution and stated: “To compensate for the time lost by the company in the past years, several new work fronts must be created simultaneously and a different perspective should be taken on the project. The company’s biggest problem has been financing, which fortunately, with repeated follow-ups, we will soon see representatives of the National Development Fund visit the project so that the resources of this fund can be used to complete the project.
Review of the overhaul process and load catalyst operations of Morvarid Petrochemical
In order to continuously monitor the status of the production units and plan for timely major repairs, Javad Zarepour, CEO of Petrofarhang, accompanied by Hesam Khoshbinfar, visited the Morvarid Petrochemical Complex.
In the side session of this visit, which was held with the presentation of expert reports by the company’s technical and operational managers, the latest state of readiness of the engineering units to begin the overhaul and loading of the ethylene oxide catalyst was reviewed, and a complete report on the planning, procurement of parts, and coordination of the executive teams was presented.
Zarepour stated in this meeting: “The first step in the localization of any product and technology certainly has numerous difficulties, but we must bear the costs of this path to excellence in order to advance national goals. Otherwise, we will always need the knowledge of other countries, which is in conflict with our national interests.”
Morvarid Petrochemical managers have decided in the past years to localize the company’s catalyst, and the current team has been obliged to continue the path based on that contract. We are now in the final stages of this process, and we will soon witness the loading of the catalyst after receiving all the necessary approvals and operational tests.
Overhaul of Kimia Pars Petrochemical Plant in the Middle East with the aim of resolving all the problems of the past years
The visit to Kimia Pars Petrochemical Plant in the Middle East with the presence of Habib Dibaji, the head of the company, was the last program of Petrofarhang CEO’s visit to Assaluyeh, accompanied by an expert meeting with the complex’s managers.
After listening to the report of all the company’s managers, Zarepour said: In the last fiscal year, due to the gas and electricity outages, as well as the problem of oxygen supply and some other issues, we witnessed production interruptions that created challenges for the company; therefore, the company’s plans for the new fiscal year should be redefined with two perspectives: compensating for the past and overcoming the current situation. In the company’s upcoming overhaul operation, which will occur after a possible gas outage during the cold days of the year due to imbalance, all engineering and technical problems must be examined and resolved, otherwise it will not be possible to achieve the announced plans, and this issue is not acceptable in any way. Fortunately, the occasional problems that arose were resolved with the wisdom and knowledge of the company’s young managers, but changing procedures and advancing goals by observing existing standards will compensate for past shortcomings.
