Kangan Natural Gas Refinery |
 |
Islamic Republic
of Iran contains 15% of the world's proven gas reserves
The government energy substitution-orientated policies
for domestic consumption, natural gas instead of mineral
oil, have demonstrated a 297% growth during post-revolution
years. The total daily capacity of the newly constructed
refineries at present stands over 134 million cubic meters
while, according to existing statistics, the capacity
of country's gas refineries in 1995 increased to 429%
in comparison with that of the last year of the former
regime. As a massive and significant project, with a capacity
of 90 million cubic meters, "Kangan Natural Gas Refinery"
is now capable of producing abundant supply of gas for
the households as well as industrial consumption. |

Ghaem project "Spongy Iron Through Direct Reactivation" |
As a superior
technique and an innovative phenomenon, the direct reactivation
method of producing iron was first patented as an Iranian
invention in the Islamic Republic of Iran and then registered
in Germany. Once compared with three other conventional
methods of manufacturing iron, the above mentioned technique
certainly is more cost-effective. Under present circumstances,
according to various experts, only three countries such
as Mexico, Germany and the U.S.A. possess this kind of
technology. Moreover, Ghaem's direct reactivation method
with 96% "metallisation" has undoubtedly gained
an international scientific stature for the Islamic Republic
of Iran.
An Italian company, Danily, has obtained exclusive authorisation
for utilisation of this new technology in 1996 for fifteen
years. Due to a signed contract, the above company also
agreed to pay a fee of US$ 1000,000.00 to Iran for establishing
each "Steel Factory" requiring the direct reactivation
method, with an annual 600,000 tons capacity. |

Mobarakeh Steel Complex |
 |
The country's
massive production capacity of "rough steel"
in 1994, 6560,000 tons, obviously demonstrated one more
resounding industrial achievement of the post-revolution
era -- indicating a 620% growth as compared to that of
the pre-revolution years. Remarkably, Mobarakeh Steel
Complex annually manufactures 2.4 million tons of "steel
plates" and now also ensures the full employment
of 25,000 people.
Isfahan Iron Foundry is yet another powerful pole of the
national steel industry whose highly-skilled engineers
and competent technicians have already gained regional
and international reputations for innovating a new method
of producing Spongy Iron, designing and manufacturing
Macro-weighty Crafts, producing operative heating furnaces,
manufacturing rail tracks, etc. |
