Iranian Company Manufactures Centrifugal Blowers for Gas Industry
By designing and manufacturing centrifugal blowers for the first time in the country, the knowledge-based company has been able to save foreign exchange and pave the way for the continuation of activities of the Unit 108.
“In the gas refineries, Unit 108 is responsible for recovering sulfur from acid gas produced in Unit 101. The purpose of constructing this unit is to meet environmental considerations and convert hydrogen sulfide gas produced from the amine sweetening process into sulfur,” said Abolfazl Hemmati Alamdari, the managing director of the company.
“These blowers enjoy higher aeration capacity and greater controllability, and their need for consumable spare parts is also limited,” he added.
South Pars gas field is the largest independent gas reserve in the world which is shared by Iran and Qatar. The field is 105 kilometers away from the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone. The reservoir covers 9,700 square kilometers in total wit 3,700 square kilometers belonging to Iran. According to latest figures, the field contains more than 51 trillion cubic meters of natural gas. It stands for about 48 percent of Iran’s confirmed reserves.
South Pars is currently divided into 24 standard phases on the Iranian side and is estimated to contain a significant amount of natural gas, accounting for about eight percent of the world’s reserves, and approximately 18 billion barrels of condensate.
