Tehran, Iran, July 29
By A. Shirazi - Trend:
The managing director of Persian Gulf Star Refinery (PGSR) said daily gasoline production at the refinery is expected to reach 36 million liters by the end of current Iranian fiscal year (March 20, 2019).
“With the implementation of the third phase of the refinery, its daily gasoline production will reach 36 million liters by year-end,” Mohammad Ali Dadvar told Shana news agency.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on June 30 inaugurated the second phase of the Persian Gulf Star Refinery, Iran's largest gas condensate refining company, in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas.
Phase 1 of the refinery was opened by the Iranian president in March 2017.
The second phase of the refinery has added 12 million liters of Euro-5 quality gasoline to the country’s total output of the product.
Dadvar further said the refinery’s daily output currently stands at 26 million litters.
The managing director of refinery also announced that the daily output is planned to reach 30 million liters by the next month.
Bringing self-sufficiency for the country in terms of gasoline production, once fully operational, the Middle East's largest processing facility for gas condensate will also play a big role to turn Iran into an exporter of gasoline.
The big job has already started as the first shipment of Euro 5 gasoline produced by Persian Gulf Star Refinery was delivered to Shahid Rajaee port in south of the country in early December last year.
