Iran indigenizes parts manufacturing for pressure-boosting stations: IGTC
Iran is self-sufficient in manufacturing 750 main parts of gas pressure-boosting stations, announced managing director of the Iranian Gas Transmission Company (IGTC).
Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, Gholam-Abbas Hosseini pointed to new technology-based firms’ cooperation with IGTC, adding that the country has also indigenized manufacturing two types of gas turbines, Shana reported.
The IGTC is making the optimum use of homegrown equipment and products, underlined the IGTC head. According to the official, the company is now using Iranian-made oil and air and gas filters.
Stating that the country’s gas transmission capacity is now at one billion cubic meters per day, Hosseini added that 50 percent of the repair operations have been completed, as the IGTC is preparing for stable gas transmission during winter days.
“From the beginning of the current Iranian year (March 21) to August 1, a sum of 98 billion cubic meters of gas have been transferred to consumers, which indicates an increase of four billion cubic meters compared to the corresponding period of the preceding year.”
