TEHRAN (NIPNA) - The connection of Firewater Pump Station No. 4 to the Assaluyeh Phase II firewater ring marks a significant step forward in elevating safety standards for regional petrochemical companies, the National Petrochemical Company’s (NPC) Health, Safety, Environment, and Passive Defense (HSE&PD) Director said on Saturday.

During an inspection of Damavand Energy Assaluyeh, HSE&PD Director Davoud Emadi highlighted that enhancing fire safety measures and establishing a reliable firewater network in Phase II of the Pars Special Economic Zone is crucial, given the area’s dense infrastructure and extensive storage facilities.

Emadi emphasized that boosting this network is a key priority for NPC’s HSE management, particularly as high-capacity tanks and critical locations have already been identified for safety improvements.

"Damavand Energy Assaluyeh is a cornerstone of the region’s petrochemical sector," said Emadi.

“As a utility provider, it plays a vital role in safeguarding operational safety and environmental standards for companies in Phase II. Through its proactive measures, Damavand Energy has bolstered the region’s safety and environmental conditions."

Emadi described the completion of Phase II's firewater ring as both a critical requirement of NPC and a core responsibility for Damavand Energy in the area.

"With the activation of Pump Station No. 4, now integrated into the firewater ring thanks to round-the-clock efforts of local specialists and Damavand personnel, many complexes in Phase II now have dual access points to the network, significantly enhancing safety and readiness across the zone."

Pump Station No. 4 has a capacity of 6,600 cubic meters per hour and includes two 29,000-cubic-meter tanks, two jockey pumps, three electric pumps, and six diesel pumps. It is designed to supply firewater to southeastern petrochemical complexes within Phase II.
