Quality, quantity of Sarkhun gas refinery’s output to be enhanced

TEHRAN, Sept. 25 (MNA) – Upon completion of three related major projects, the quality of the gas produced at Sarkhun and Qeshm natural gas refinery and the quantity of the byproducts of the plant will increase.

Daily output from Sarkhun and Qeshm refinery currently stands at around 15 million cubic meters but due to the gas production tank limits the plant’s outputs could not be expanded. Gas condensates and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are among the major byproducts of the natural gas refinery.

 

Within the next three years, some Rls.60 billion will be allocated to the completion of the projects, Alireza Tajzadeh, the refinery director said adding that the project contractor would be hired by the end of the year (Iranian year ends March 20, 2006). 

 

Daily production of the refinery byproducts currently stands at 11,000 barrels of gas condensates and 80 tons of LPG. About four million cubic meters of the gas produced at the refinery is delivered to Hormozgan Combined Cycle Power Plant, 3.5 million cubic meters to Bandar Abbas Power Plant, two million cubic meters to Bandar Abbas Refinery and the rest is used in other industrial sectors and for household uses.
