BOUSHEHR (NIPNA) – Boushehr Petrochemical Complex (BPC) has reached a milestone of producing over 18 million tons of utilities by late November, a key achievement in its strategy for maximum self-sufficiency, according to its acting manager, Abdollah Ebadi.

Speaking to company media on Friday, Ebadi emphasized that ensuring stable production has been the top priority for BPC since its inception.

"The main driver behind our uninterrupted operations has been the establishment of a sustainable feedstock supply chain and achieving utility self-sufficiency across all three phases of our complex," he said.

BPC operates the only petrochemical refinery in the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone. This facility plays a dual role: supporting upstream value chains for methanol and olefin production and acting as a reliable feedstock provider during periods of supply constraints caused by imbalances in the national gas and energy sectors.

Ebadi noted that the complex’s gas refinery, equipped with an integrated steam unit, meets its own annual consumption needs, while state-of-the-art air separation units (ASU) and reverse osmosis (RO) desalination facilities provide essential utilities for BPC’s various phases.

"Currently, only the first phase of the complex is operational," Ebadi said, adding that surplus utilities produced are sold to neighboring companies, with oxygen also supplied to national medical centers as part of BPC's social responsibility initiatives.

The company’s investments in utility infrastructure and feedstock supply have significantly reduced production costs, ensuring both operational stability and enhanced economic efficiency. Ebadi highlighted the importance of local supplier partnerships, which further bolster BPC’s capacity to meet its production requirements.
