Homegrown catalyst unveiled in central Iran
Iranian-made reductive catalytic depolymerization (RCD) was unveiled in a ceremony at the Imam Khomeini Oil Refining Company of Shazand, in Markazi Province, on Wednesday.
Speaking at the ceremony, the CEO of the company said the catalyst was produced for the first time in Iran in the residual hydrogen purification unit with a capacity of 69,000 barrels per day, IRNA reported.
