Reducing Pollution and Securing Equipment
The CEO of Isfahan Oil Refinery also referred to the refinery's plans for reducing pollution. Bagheri-Dizaj announced that the recovery of flare gases has progressed to over 95%, and the monitoring systems for emissions from furnaces and control equipment have also been developed. These measures are aimed at reducing environmental impacts and improving air quality in the region.
He also mentioned the procurement of necessary equipment for the refinery, stating that a significant portion of this equipment is sourced domestically. However, specific equipment such as rotating equipment and compressors still needs to be sourced from abroad. This highlights the challenges in securing advanced industrial equipment domestically.
Finally, Bagheri-Dizaj emphasized the importance of mechanisms for settling claims and financing projects, stating that the 112 trillion toman claims of Isfahan Oil Refinery highlight the need for investment to implement development plans. He believes that these investments can help improve the refinery's performance and increase production capacity.
