Industrial Development and Summary of Feasibility Study Report Page 2 of 3 Renovation Organization of Iran Gas to Polypropylene Project (GTPP) To be presented to the Industry Development Committee 4. The desired production method and technology 1. In the reformers, natural gas, together with water vapor, is changed into synthesized gas which is converted into raw methanol and then into pure methanol in the reactor 2. Methanol is first converted into DME (dimethyl ether) in the primary reactors, and the mixture of DME and methanol is then converted into propylene in three fixed-bed reactors. Propylene, methanol, and DME are separated from the mixture, uncombined methanol and DME are returned to the initial stage of the process, and propylene and other products are purified. 3. The propylene and ethylene produced in the reactors are converted into polypropylene (with various grades) and packaged Methane technology: Topsoe-Lurgi MTP technology: Lurgi P.P technology: Basell, JP Morgan Chase & Co, Mitsui, Sumitomo 5. Physical dimensions of the project Project location: On the northern shores of the Persian Gulf and the Oman Sea , or along the coast of the Caspian Sea Land area: About 4 million square meters Floor area: Production: Exposed units in a total area of 50,000 square meters (the exact figures shall be determined during the engineering phase) repair & maintenance, etc.): Approx. 50,000 square meters Service Section (Warehouses, Offices: Approx. 5000 square meters Infrastructure facilities required for the project: Water: 40,000 cubic meters per day Electricity: 70 megawatts ( varies according to process type) Gas: 1750 million cubic meter per year Export port Transportation infrastructure: Size and composition of human resources in the project: Operation and repair: 1280; ancillary services 50 ; administrative : 150
