IGEDC completes three new pressure booster stations for Iran’s gas supply

To ensure sustainable gas supply across the country, Iran has launched three new pressure booster stations since the beginning of the current calendar year, which began on March 20.

Hassan Montazer Torbati, managing director of the Iranian Gas Engineering and Development Company (IGEDC), said that the stations were launched in southern Safashahr, central Naein and southern Khonj counties to ensure balanced distribution of gas throughout the country.

He said now that the stations are operational, gas distribution via IGAT-8 (the 8th national gas trunkline) is being carried out in a more sustainable manner with more room for maneuver.

He said IGEDC developed the stations by relying on domestic capabilities which led to considerable economic savings for the company in line with the policies of the economy of resistance.

Safashahr pressure station can pump 90 million cubic meters per day (mcm/d) of gas. The project was built with EUR860,000 and IRR307 billion, he added.

Naein station can deliver 110mcm/d of gas with an investment of IRR671billion and EUR43.5million and Khonj pressure plant can deliver 110mcm/d of gas with IRR601billion and EUR42.8million of investment.
