Abadan Refinery

The design of this refinery goes back to 1909  and its FIRST distillation tower with a capacity  of 2500 barrel per day started operation in 1912. Addition of some new units  made this refinery  the largest refinery worldwide in 1955.Abadan refinery was shut down  during the imposed war  due to the damages it  borne ,  but  after the war and upon  repairing the damaged parts ,  was  launched with a capacity of  130,000  barrels per day in the first phase of reconstruction and at  presenet is running with a capacity of 400000 barrels per day.Abadan refinery has an important  port for exporting oil products as well.       

This port being equipped with 8 docks, oil storage, oil loading and mixing machines,marine  loading equipments and control laboratory instrument,is able to harbour oil carriers of up to 48  thousands tons.      

Mahshahr Exporting port is located at  11 KM distance east of  "Imam khomeyni"  port at the  entrance of Persian Gulf in a region called Khour Mussa.

Shazand Arak Refinery

The contract for construction of  this refinery was concluded with foreign companies in 1989. It started operation with a daily capacity of 150,000 barrels in early 1993 . Arak refinery is one of the most advance and modern  refineries in IRAN equipped with  latest technology of the world . Unleaded gasoline is one of the valuable products of this refinery.

Tabriz Refinery

This Refinery with a nominal capacity of  80,000  barrels a day started operation in late 1977 under construction of  IRANIAN  experts . Despite about  twenty bombardment by enemy  forcesduring the "IMPOSED WAR" , it was reconstructed quickly and with the least  possible  losses atpresent, upon execution of expansion project, this refinery produces 112,000 barrels per day.

Esfehan Refinery

The primary design of Esfahan refinery with a capacity of 200000 barrels per day was carried
out in early 1970s by the engineers & Experts of National Iranian Oil Company.
Its first distillation unit was launched in Feb. 1980 without any interference of foreign experts
and its  production  capacity was increased to  280,000  barrels per day by  modification that the
Iranian  experts made . Re-construction the opertional  structure of refinery units  increased  the
capacity of crude oil refining to 350,000 barrels a day.

Tehran Refinery

 In may 1968, refinery No.1 started operation with a daily capacity of 85000 barrels. In 1973,theproduction  rate increased to  125,000  barrels a day due  to  some  changes in its structure . The construction of refinery No. 2 started in late 1971 and was operated in April 1973 with a capacityof 100,000 barrels. Establishing an emulation bitumen production plant with a capacity of 20 tonsper hour and insticide product of unit with an annual capacity of  15  million tons are among thefuture plans of this refinery.

 Shiraz Refinery

The planned capacity of Shiraz refinery is 40,000 barrels per day . This refinery was operatedin 1973. During the imposed war, modification were made to improve the production methods &raise the number of products. Design, construction, installation & operation of bitumen & batterytar production units for the first time in Iran are among these projects.

Lavan Refinery Complex

The complex was constructed in 1975 in order to produce,gasoil and naphta as the ships fuel. Its planned capacity is 20,000 barrels per day which has recently increased to 30,000 barrels due toexpansion project. In management, this complex is subordinate to Shiraz refinery.

Kermanshah Refinery

 Kermanshah Refinery was put in to operation in  1922  with a capacity of  2,000  barrels a day which was increased to 15000 barrels up to 1971.The refinery was inactive from 1980 to 1983 due to repeated  air  attacks  of the enemy . It was reactivated  after  construction  of a 172 Km  long pipeline from Afrineh to Kermanshah. At present and upon modification in its refining system, it runs with a daily production rate of about 25,000.
