Iranian Experts Improve Quality of Oil Products with Advanced Tests
Hamed Savari, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, explained that the activities of his company are focused on production of equipment and provide advanced testing services for lubricants, adding, “Our knowledge-based company was established with the aim of developing technology in the chemical, petroleum and petrochemical industries, and as a new knowledge-based company, it operates advanced machinery and equipment for testing petroleum products like gas chromatograph and X-ray machine.”
“Various products like gasoline, naphtha, diesel, different solvents, lubricants like engine oil, gear oil, hydraulic oil, base oil, types of grease, etc., are tested in the company by using advanced equipment and efficient laboratory methods,” he added.
“We are also active in providing engineering services and quantitative and qualitative monitoring, preparation and compilation of formulations based on the nature of the products, synthesis and production of nanoparticles and nanofluids for application in different industries, sweetening the oil products, and designing and building the semi-industrial units,” Savari said.
In a relevant development in May, Iran's Research Institute of Petroleum Industry and Iranian knowledge-based companies had produced lubricants used for oil industry equipment.
The lubricants were produced through cooperation between the Research Institute of Petroleum Industry (RIPI) and a knowledge-based company, according to a report by the communication and information center of the Iranian Vice Presidency for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy.
"Last year we signed a contract with Petro-Sakht Company with the aim of commercial development and production of 10 previously-imported specific synthetic oils and greases," Akbar Zamaniyan, one of the managers at the RIPI, said.
"These products used to be imported while they matter a lot in the oil and gas industry," Zamaniyan said.
He further pointed to the oils and greases that are used in rotating machinery and turbines, as well as specific thermal oils produced domestically in Iran, saying, "These oils have been imported and are worth a lot. Having access to them also faced hurdles due to the sanctions. Fortunately, with the locally production of these products by the RIPI jointly in cooperation with the Petro-Sakht knowledge-based company, the production of these oils has developed."
