TEHRAN (NIPNA) – The flare at Karun Petrochemical Plant’s HYCO unit has been successfully ignited, marking a key milestone towards the full operation of the project, according to company officials.

 

 

In a statement released on Tuesday, Alireza Sedighizadeh, CEO of Karun Petrochemical Plant, expressed satisfaction with the progress of the HYCO unit and emphasized the significance of this development.

"While igniting the flare may appear straightforward, it involves complex technical procedures. I would like to extend my gratitude to all my colleagues who have worked tirelessly to achieve this," he said.

Sedighizadeh highlighted the pivotal role of Iranian companies in the execution of the HYCO project and expressed optimism that full operational capacity would be achieved in the coming months. "Once we secure feedstock supply of CO and hydrogen, Karun Petrochemical will be able to reach 100% of its nominal capacity," he added.

Hossein Miri, head of operations at Karun Petrochemical, also commented on the progress, stating that no significant technical or operational challenges have been encountered in recent months. "The pace of the project's completion has accelerated, with key technical components such as cooling systems, power substations, utilities, wastewater management, and the control room now in place," Miri said. He further expressed hope that, with the necessary funding and equipment procurement, the project would reach full operational status soon.
