Iran eliminates West's stranglehold on turboexpander manufacturing

A turboexpander, also known as an expansion turbine, was invented and produced domestically by Iranian specialists and technicians at the Shazand Petrochemical Company (ARPC) in the central Iranian province of Markazi, ending the West's exclusive control on the production of the extremely sophisticated technology.

Iran (IMNA) - The professionals achieved the accomplishment in partnership with an Iranian knowledge-based business; Only three western countries develop the turboexpander.

According to reports, the local turboexpander would save big Iranian petrochemical businesses millions of dollars since they can now obtain the turbine, which is often employed in low-temperature procedures, at a significantly lower price than their foreign-built counterparts.

Currently, the domestic turboexpander at ARPC is in use, exchanging heat and supplying fuel to the furnaces of its olefin plant.

The Shazand Petrochemical Company announced that it is geared up to provide its domestic turboexpander to other Iranian petrochemical facilities.

Turboexpanders are commonly employed as cooling sources in manufacturing operations such as ethane and natural-gas liquids (NGLs) extraction from natural gas, liquefaction of gases (such as oxygen, nitrogen, helium, argon, and krypton), and other lower-temperature operations.

Turboexpanders in use today range in capacity from around 750 W to roughly 7.5 MW (1 hp to 10,000 horsepower).
