According to the plant’s PR office, systematization of management
of technology is one of the plant’s plans which is taking place for the first
time in the petrochemical industry in Iran.
Hamid Rajaei, the Deputy of Research and Technology at the
plant, presented a report on the research achievements of his company on the occasion
of Research and Technology Week.
He said that in the field of research and technology in the
plant, localization of catalysts, as well as development processes and updating
modern technologies for survival and upgrading the position of the company in
the market are under way.
“Localization of all the catalysts in the reforming area,
which include more than 5 catalysts, as well as localization of chlorine
adsorbent and, most importantly, upgrading and updating localized catalysts in
the last three years have been the most important achievements of this unit,”
he said.
He added: "We are constantly cooperating with many
knowledge-based companies as well as prestigious universities in the country to
achieve our goals in development and process projects, as well as solving
process challenges. In this regard, projects to reduce energy waste,
environmental issues, localization of advanced technologies and catalysts,.... have
been defined with universities and knowledge-based companies.”
Rajaei announced the title of some of the main activities
carried out and ongoing at Noori Petrochemical Plant:
