Iranian Official: 3rd Phase of PGSR Refinery to Reach Full Capacity Soon

“The contractor’s timetable for the completion of the third phase of PGSR was the end of this year, but we have plans to launch it in the Ten-Day Dawn-celebrations marking the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution (February 1-11)- and this phase will reach full capacity before the month of Bahman (to start on January 21),” Mohammad told FNA on Wednesday.

He added that operations in the civil section of the fourth phase of the PGSR started in September, adding that a 24-month-timeline has been set for its completion.

“This refinery will actually be a 100% Iranian complex, meaning that the designing and the parts used in its construction are 100% Iran-made,” Mohammad said.

The Persian Gulf Star Refinery, also known as Bandar Abbas Gas Condensate Refinery, is a new gas condensate refinery developed near Bandar Abbas, Iran.

It has a processing capacity of roughly 360,000 barrels of gas condensate.

Managing-Director of Iran’s Persian Gulf Star Refinery (PGSR) Mohammad Ali Dadvar had in November put the output of the refinery at 30 million liters per day.

He said that the capacity will reach 44 million liters per day by the end of the current Iranian calendar year (March 20, 2019) once the third phase of the refinery comes on stream.
