During the unveiling ceremony on Wednesday, the refinery’s CEO, Majid Rajabi, said the RFCC unit has been designed to produce gasoline, liquefied gas, and light diesel, with a daily capacity of 94,370 barrels.
“This unit utilizes the fluid catalytic cracking process and is currently the largest FCC (fluid catalytic cracking) unit in the country,” he noted.
“The unit has been specifically designed to produce a maximum amount of high-octane gasoline, capable of producing 8 million liters of gasoline (per day),” he added.
Rajabi emphasized that the RFCC unit could meet the needs of other oil refineries in Iran, streamlining their operations and making them more cost-effective.
Imam Khomeini Oil Refinery was established in 1993 and became the largest single-unit refinery in Iran with a nominal capacity of processing 150,000 barrels per day (bpd).
The refinery’s capacity has increased to 250,000 bpd and is currently a major producer of Euro-4 grade gasoline in Iran.
