Kangan Petro-Refining Holding, by implementing national, innovative and strategic projects, has placed its name among the leading entities of the country’s oil, gas and petrochemical industry, so that by registering an enduring achievement, it showcases the capability, knowledge and determination of Iranian specialists and adds another golden page to the honors of this great industry. Without a doubt, by reviewing these major achievements, it can be announced that with the launch of these projects, a great transformation in the country’s economy, foreign currency generation, and sustainable employment in a strong Iran will be created.
Successful implementation of the first phase of the project to control the flares of the Ninth Refinery
This project, in the largest gas refinery in the country, Phase 12 of the Ninth Refinery, aimed at collecting the flare gases of the Ninth Refinery and using them as fuel for the boilers, is considered one of the most important achievements of Kangan Petro-Refining Holding; a project that, for the first time in the country, under the management of Dr. Javad Fallahian and relying on the knowledge, expertise and capabilities of Iranian engineers and staff, saw its first phase come to fruition and once again proved domestic capability in implementing complex and strategic projects in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries.
Controlling the flares of the Ninth Refinery, in addition to a significant reduction in environmental pollutants and protecting the health of the local community, is regarded as an effective step in preventing the waste of national resources.
The gases that until yesterday were burning in flares, today serve as feed-stock for downstream industries, creating grounds for added value, increased production, completion of the value chain of the oil, gas and petrochemical industries, and enhancing the country’s foreign exchange earning capacity; a measure that is of particular importance on the path to realizing sustainable development policies and optimal use of national resources.
In this regard, Kangan Petro-Refining Holding is continuously pursuing the implementation of major, future-making projects.
Commencement of gas sweetening unit operations for the first time in the country
This project is another strategic project of this complex that in the near future will make it possible to collect a significant portion of flare gases. Alongside supplying the required feed-stock for ammonia and urea units, this project will lead to a noticeable reduction in flaring, a reduction in environmental pollutants, and increased efficiency in the use of gas resources, and it will create broad employment opportunities for engineers, specialists, and the youth of Bushehr Province, especially the honorable people of Kangan county and neighboring areas.
Historic Successful Execution of Strategic Hot Tap Operation for the First Time in the World
Another milestone in the performance of Kangan Petro-Refining Holding is the historic successful execution of the strategic Hot Tap operation for the first time in the world and connection to the West Ethylene Pipeline—an operation that is complex and rare, which for the first time globally was successfully carried out without stopping the ethylene flow and without causing any disruption in the operation of this strategic pipeline. This achievement enables the direct transfer of produced ethylene from the national network and prevents the shutdown of polymer units in case of a disruption in the olefin unit, creating conditions for an action that plays an important role in increasing efficiency, preserving production stability, preventing the stoppage of operational processes, enhancing the profitability of this major holding, and ensuring the continuity of production and foreign exchange generation for a prosperous Iran.
Hot tap operation is considered one of the most complex technologies in the global oil, gas, and petrochemical industries, making it possible to create branches on pipelines that are in operation without cutting off the fluid flow. Successful implementation of this technology requires precise engineering design, complex mechanical calculations, comprehensive risk assessment, strict adherence to the most rigorous safety requirements, and the use of advanced equipment and technical know-how. The success of Kangan Petro-Refining Holding in executing this operation has once again proven the capabilities of Iranian engineers and specialists in implementing sensitive and strategic projects—this time on a global scale—and has showcased the high capacity of the country’s oil, gas, and petrochemical industry in achieving advanced technologies.
The collection of these achievements paints a clear picture of the future of Kangan Petro-Refining Holding; a future built on innovation, infrastructure development, and completion of the value chain, protection of the environment, job creation, and prevention of waste of national resources, increased efficiency, and wealth creation for the country. The continued implementation of such projects has turned Kangan Petro-Refining Holding into one of the most influential and pioneering groups in Iran’s oil, gas, and petrochemical industries, and has paved the way for greater honors to be achieved in the future.
Project for planting 300,000 mangrove saplings over an area of 250 hectares
This project, carried out as part of the company’s social responsibilities for expanding green spaces and preserving the environment, is among the major environmental projects in the province.
Project for equipping and optimizing the infrastructure and equipment of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Kangan county
This project, implemented to improve the level of health and hygiene in four southern counties of the province, covers various aspects, including the purchase of key equipment such as CCU facilities and an MRI machine, as well as the optimization of the hospital’s infrastructure.
This clearly demonstrates the balanced development of this large holding in all its dimensions, and it considers the issue of its social responsibilities, on a par with major industrial projects, to be of special and priority importance.
The realization of this achievement and the continuous implementation of value-creating projects with the support, guidance, and leadership of the country’s expert oil, gas, and petrochemical industries manager, Dr. Fallahian, in the Kangan Petro-Refining Holding, shows that the slogan “Wanting and Being Able Is Our Art” is not just a slogan, but has turned into an organizational culture and an operational approach in this group; a culture that has united all the pillars of this large holding, the result of which is the implementation of projects that, in addition to creating economic value, will leave lasting impacts on the development of the country’s industry, the development of sustainable employment, and the balanced development of the local community.
