According to the company’s Public Relations and International Affairs Office, the project—designed, fabricated, installed, and launched under the supervision of the General Engineering Department—was successfully completed and brought online on November 14, 2025, following nine months of continuous work.
Mehdi Shakeri, Acting Head of Technical Services at Shahid Tondguyan Petrochemical Complex, highlighted the significance of this infrastructure upgrade. He explained that the previous packaging system, which had been in service for over two decades, suffered from operational inefficiencies, maintenance challenges, and safety risks. Frequent breakdowns, high repair costs, and hazards for warehouse personnel—as well as reduced packaging speed or complete stoppage—had made the replacement of the old equipment imperative, with occasional risks posed to production continuity.
To address these issues and establish an integrated packaging system, the company executed the project under a contract titled “Design and Construction of a Big-Bag Packaging System.” The new system delivers a range of performance improvements, including packaging speeds of up to 30 bags per hour, elimination of recurring maintenance costs, significant reduction in spare-parts procurement, lower risk of production slowdown or shutdown in the Poly H unit, enhanced operational safety, and mitigation of hazards associated with the old system.
A key feature of this project is that all stages—from design and fabrication to assembly, factory testing, inspection, transport, and commissioning—were carried out entirely by a domestic knowledge-based company. This full reliance on local technological capability positions the project as a successful model for leveraging domestic manufacturing capacity in the modernization of petrochemical industry infrastructure.
