TEHRAN (NIPNA) – Iran has installed its first domestically produced methanol synthesis reactor in Phase 2 of Sabalan Petrochemical, marking a significant step in localizing key petrochemical equipment.

The reactor, commissioned by Petrofarhang Holding and Energy Sepehr and manufactured by Machine Sazi Arak, was installed on Monday, March 3, the company announced.

Weighing approximately 360 tons, with a diameter of 6.5 meters and a height of 11.7 meters, the reactor is made of carbon steel and contains 2,815 internal tubes. This is the first time such equipment has been indigenized in Iran, preventing the outflow of tens of millions of dollars in foreign currency.

Previously, Petrofarhang Holding subsidiaries had also placed orders for 30 specialized process equipment units, contributing further to the country’s import substitution strategy and reducing reliance on foreign suppliers.
