Borzuyeh Petrochemical Complex (BPC) has initially invested around US $880 million to establish 11 factories with the production capacity of 4.4 million tons per year.
The units set to be operational within next 6-8 months, will consume over 120,000 barrels of gas condensate as feedstock from phases 1-3 of South Pars.
Borzuyeh units are expected to produce 430,000 tons of benzene, 100,000 tons of ortho-xylene, 750,000 tons of Paraxylene, and 3.5 million tons of side products per year that will be mainly used in ethyl-benzene, fabric, fennel, polyester, pesticides, PTA and PET industries.
These products will be worth more than $1.260 million, including two million tons of products to be exported through pipeline connected to main dock.
