RoydadNaft – <\/a><\/span>\u00a0Iran\u2019s petrochemical sector notched a major win as the Lordegan Petrochemical Complex smashed monthly production records for urea and ammonia in October, thanks to a savvy catalyst swap that cranked up output and funneled $100 million in foreign currency back to the national coffers from urea exports alone.<\/p>\n

In a statement that underscores the plant\u2019s rising prowess, CEO Mohsen Esmaili revealed the Mehr month (October) haul: a whopping 79,000 tons of urea fertilizer and over 54,000 tons of ammonia\u2014eclipsing every prior benchmark from this year and last. \u201cThis isn\u2019t just a number; it\u2019s the fruit of our team\u2019s relentless drive,\u201d Esmaili said, highlighting how the upgrades propelled year-to-date totals to an all-time high of 455,000 tons of urea and 285,000 tons of ammonia since the facility\u2019s inception.<\/p>\n

The secret sauce? A meticulous reactor catalyst replacement and overhaul, spearheaded by in-house experts. Complex President Samadi credited the move for boosting the ammonia unit\u2019s capacity from 76% to 90% and urea\u2019s from 75% to 80%. \u201cThese tweaks didn\u2019t just tweak production\u2014they supercharged it,\u201d Samadi told Ruyad Naft, noting the ripple effect: a 30% revenue surge since January, with urea shipments abroad delivering a cool $100 million in hard-earned forex.<\/p>\n

Nestled in Falarad County with a robust base of 40,000 shareholders, Lordegan stands as a poster child for Iran\u2019s push toward self-reliant petrochemical growth. As global fertilizer demand surges amid volatile markets\u2014urea prices lingering near $300 per ton\u2014these gains couldn\u2019t be timelier, bolstering food security exports and easing domestic supply strains. For Lordegan\u2019s specialists, it\u2019s proof that targeted innovation can turn industrial hurdles into export goldmines.<\/p>\n
