TEHRAN (PIN) – Nuri (Borzuyeh) Petrochemical Complex has yielded more than 488 thousand tons of aromatic products since the current Iranian calendar year (started March 21, 2007).

Of the figure, 326 thousand tons was either exported or transferred to Bandar Imam, Bu Ali Sina, and Tondguyan petrochemical complexes, reported Nuri Petrochemical Complex.
The complex has also prepared 162 thousand tons of products for exporting or supplying domestic petrochemical complexes.
President Mahmud Ahmadinejad inaugurated Borzuyeh Petrochemical Complex, the world’s biggest aromatic plant, in Assaluyeh in southern Iran on July 2 and agreed to change its name to “Nuri” Petrochemical Complex.
The decision was made following the request of the family of Mohammad Nuri, former managing director of the complex, who died last year.
Nuri, one of the founders and designers of the complex, had worked in the plant for eight years.
The complex was renamed as a gesture of appreciation for all the efforts Nuri had made during the past years.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Iran’s ministers of petroleum, energy, foreign affairs, and industries and mines as well as Petroleum Ministry’s senior managers, officials of Bushehr Province, and the high-ranking Venezuelan delegation were also present in the opening ceremony.
