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.
