Iran’s Fire-Stricken Petchem Plant to Return to Service in 2-3 Weeks

Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said the Bu Ali Sina petrochemical refinery complex in the southwestern port city of Mahshahr will become operational again within the next few weeks, after an inferno raging at a tank in the plant went out early Saturday.

Zanganeh, who was in Mahshahr to handle the situation, told reporters on Saturday morning that while the factory is expected to reopen in the next two or three weeks, it will take more time to fix the Paraxylene tower unit.
