Masjed Soleiman Petrochemical achieved a world record for continuous production of granular urea by producing 513,000 tons in the first six months of the current year. This production level represents 110% of the approved plan and the highest production volume in the last five years.
Unmatched Global Experience with Sustainable Production
This petrochemical complex was recognized as the first experience of its kind globally, with a continuous 101-day sustainable production without washing the granular box. This success was accompanied by official confirmation from the Japanese licensor Toyo.

Peyman Shah Oveyssi, CEO of Masjed Soleiman Petrochemical Industries, stated: "The production of urea over 101 consecutive days without the slightest interruption is considered a remarkable record internationally." He added that the washing operation of the granular box was carried out in a fully planned manner based on a preventive maintenance approach at the beginning of October.
Intelligent Management and Optimal Energy Consumption
Shah Oveyssi pointed out the obstacles faced at the beginning of the year, stating that the complex encountered a 17-day halt in Farvardin due to regional conditions and gas limitations. However, the efforts of the staff not only compensated for the interruption but also resulted in the production of 46,000 tons beyond the approved six-month urea plan.
In the field of ammonia, Masjed Soleiman Petrochemical also experienced the highest level of production sustainability in its history, with a record of 159 days of continuous production in the first seven months. Shah Oveyssi emphasized that intelligent management of energy carriers was a vital component of this achievement, noting that approximately 34 million and 800 thousand cubic meters of gas were consumed, which is less than the minimum consumption of the past five years for each ton of urea produced.
The CEO of Masjed Soleiman Petrochemical also announced the sale and export of over 15,000 tons of surplus ammonia, considering this export volume the highest recorded in the history of this complex. He emphasized that the continuation of these record-breaking achievements depends on the continuous and stable supply of gas feedstock during the cold seasons of the year.
The Petrochemical Industries Design and Engineering Company (PIDEC) participated as the basic engineering contractor for the urea unit of Masjed Soleiman Petrochemical in achieving this success, and the specialists of this company played a significant role in the design and development stages of this industrial unit.
