The Emergence of Padjam Polymer in the Petrochemical Geography of Iran

According to the report of FarazEnergy, quoted from Rahbord Energy: After ۱۴ years of waiting, the strategic project of Polymer Padjam is now ready for official operation. Furthermore, the 5000 ABS line will reach the production stage. The achievement has been made following the hard work of Iranian youths.

The executive operation of the ABS Rubber of Polymer Padjam project started in 2009 as the second phase of the Petrochemical Development Plan of Jam. And in 2015، this continued in the form of Padjam Polymer Development Company (PJPC).

Despite a huge sum of money, the project was completely halted in 2019. Therefore, the major shareholders of this project, Jam Petrochemical and the National Pension Fund, were poised to sell and transfer the project. But following the change of the management team and the use of young domestic experts in the course in January 2022، the project was relaunched for swift completion.

Dr. Mohammad Hashem Najafi Ardakani pulled the project out of crisis by assigning 45 packages worth 80 million euros and resolving the dispute with the former contractor.

With the efforts of the new management, the feedstock contract approved between the Monomer Styrene Group and Pars Petrochemical was finalized after 13 years. The feedstock is now stored in the TK-9001 tank.

With regards to the control system, which is one of the most important pieces of equipment of the project, it must be noted that it was designed and built by the young Iranian experts of the company. This indicates the technical power of Padjam Polymer Development Company.

It should also be noted that with the inauguration of Padjam polymer, it is not only generating money, but the project has now turned into a production complex in Iran. It will increase the income of Saba Energy Investment Company and reduce the imbalance of the national pension fund.
