Third PTA unit constructed at Shahid Tondguyan Petrochemical Complex is in accordance with Fifth 4-Year Petrochemical Plan, official sources informed.

Shahid Tondguyan Petrochemical Complex, situated at Pars Special Energy Economic Zone of Assaluyeh, southern Iran, comprises two phases and full implementation of PET (polyethylene terephthalate).

This project will generate national income of US $800 million per annum with export of 800,000 tons.

If exports fluctuate, paraxylene production at Borzuyeh complex will be complimented by the purified terephthalic acid unit.

By March 21, 2007, paraxylene is expected to come on stream and Tondguyan may use all the paraxylene produced at Bu-Ali and Imam Khomeini complexes in future.
