WPB: The CEO of Tehran Refinery announced that the largest industrial water treatment unit at Tehran Refinery is under construction.
During a visit to the refinery, Abbas Mohseni-Niko told reporters that the largest industrial water treatment and desalination unit at Tehran Refinery is currently being built. He stated that the first phase of this desalination unit will be operational in May, the second phase in June, and the third phase in September this year.
Emphasizing the importance of this initiative, he noted that once this water treatment section is operational, it will save 1.5% of Tehran’s total water consumption. The raw material for this treatment plant will be supplied by Tehran’s wastewater system through the Water and Wastewater Company.
The CEO highlighted that the Tehran Refinery’s water treatment project has reached 89% completion, with its three phases scheduled for commissioning in May, June, and September of the following year. Once operational, the refinery’s industrial wastewater treatment plant will meet the water needs of the refinery’s industry and green spaces, reducing the use of Tehran’s potable water, equivalent to a 1.5% saving in the city’s drinking water consumption.
Mohseni-Niko explained that the initial contract for wastewater supply to this treatment plant was set at 1,000 tomans per cubic meter, but the price has now increased to 25,000 tomans per cubic meter. The Tehran Refinery’s industrial wastewater treatment project has a capacity of 52,000 cubic meters, equivalent to 1.5% of Tehran’s daily drinking water supply. This means that by launching this treatment plant, 1.5% of Tehran’s drinking water consumption will be saved.
He further stated that 8.9 billion tomans and 10 million euros in investment contracts have been signed for the construction of Tehran Refinery’s treatment plant.
Mohseni-Niko also mentioned that Tehran Refinery is among the companies listed in the Justice Shares portfolio, with four board seats allocated to Justice Shares. He added that 7 trillion tomans from last year’s refinery profits were transferred to the Central Securities Depository Company for distribution to shareholders.
Regarding the Tehran Refinery’s fuel oil quality improvement project, he noted that this initiative is in its final stages and will be completed by 2029.
Additionally, the CEO stated that the refinery is implementing another project aimed at reducing the sulfur content of fuel oil from 3.5% to less than 0.5%. The fuel oil quality improvement project, developed in collaboration with research institutions, is in its finalization phase and is set to be operational by 2029. Moreover, extensive planning is underway to comply with new standards that mandate reducing sulfur content to below 0.1%.
