A further expansion of the Siraf solar plant to 125 kilowatts is under way and is scheduled to come online by the end of the Iranian year 1405, in March 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Khedri said a permit has also been obtained to build a 2.5-megawatt solar plant as part of a 15.5-megawatt joint project in the residential complex, another step toward cleaner energy and better demand management.<\/p>\n<p>Reducing flare gas is another priority, he said. Effective measures have been taken by eliminating passing valves and optimizing process-control conditions.<\/p>\n<p>To improve equipment efficiency, two boilers underwent chemical cleaning in August 2026. In addition, the amine solution in sweetening unit 4800 is being switched from DEA\/MDEA to MDEA to improve process performance and raise unit productivity.<\/p>\n<p>On electricity use, a smart-meter project is under way so industrial areas and buildings can be monitored more closely. Eighteen smart meters have been installed at the operating site and 18 in buildings.<\/p>\n<p>A permit has also been issued to install smart meters in homes in the Towhid residential complex. That project is now in the scope-of-work and funding stage. Khedri said the overall program is aimed at higher efficiency, lower energy use, conservation of resources, and more reliable gas production and supply, and that energy-consumption management must be treated as an inseparable part of sustainable production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The managing director of Iran\u2019s Fajr Jam Gas Refining Company said the plant is carrying out a package of projects to expand renewable energy, raise efficiency, and support more stable gas production.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18341,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,20,22,36,19,35],"tags":[],"services":[],"class_list":["post-18340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-gas","category-iran","category-lastnews","category-news","category-topnews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18340"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18340\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18342,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18340\/revisions\/18342"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18340"},{"taxonomy":"services","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roydadnaft.ir\/English\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services?post=18340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
