The CEO of the Petrochemical Research and Technology Company (PRTC) said the company had planned to supply the catalyst required for production of polypropylene by March 2020.
Speaking to NIPNA, Ali Pajouhan said the plant for production of the catalysts was installed and ready for operation in the Arak offshoot of the company.
“Operations to launch the plant have started and the project is expected to come online by the end of the current Iranian calendar year (March 20),” Pajouhan said.
The plant will operate with enough capacity to feed an industrial petrochemical facility for a year, he added.
He further said that the GTPP project in Kermanshah Petrochemical Plant was one of the main plans at PRTC, adding the plant was supposed to convert gas to methanol and methanol to propylene and then to polypropylene.
