The main function of a boiler is to heat water to generate steam.<br \/> \tSteam produced in a boiler can be used for a variety of purposes, including heating, sterilization, drying, humidification and power generation.<br \/> \tPointing to steam production, the official said, &#8220;As of Friday and upon delivering natural gas as well as flare gases to Phase 13 refinery, steam generation unit became operational with the help of the installed boiler.&#8221; According to the official, the produced steam will be used to power turbines for electric generating equipment, blowers and pumps.<br \/> \t&#8220;According to schedule, the refinery will be fully implemented by the end of the current Iranian year,&#8221; he said, adding that most utility units, including nitrogen and oxygen production, water and fuel distribution, steam production and flare tripods, have already been installed.<br \/> \tElaborating on the newly-installed boiler, Motamed noted that being such an integral part of refining operations makes the need for boilers to be in proper working shape a critical aspect of plant uptime. Regularly scheduled maintenance and planned refurbishment are two proactive ways to make sure boilers do not experienced prolonged or unexpected downtime.<br \/> \tGiving a breakdown, he said Phase 13 is being developed with 90%, 81% and 78% progress in refinery, drilling and pipe laying sections respectively.<\/p>\n<p> \t\u00a0 Pipe-Laying Operations<br \/> \tAccording to the official, pipe-laying operations to connect the platform of Phase 13 to onshore facilities in the port city of Asalouyeh were completed in September.<br \/> \t\u201cThe 96-kilometer pipeline, connecting Phase 13 to onshore infrastructure, was an important component in Iran&#8217;s efforts to boost natural gas production from the world&#8217;s largest gas field it shares with Qatar,\u201d he said.<br \/> \tMotamed announced that a second pipeline is expected to be laid by March next year, which will make it possible to produce 56 million cubic meters of gas per day from Phase 13.<br \/> \tPhase 13, one of the 24 South Pars phases whose development started in 2010, is also aimed at producing 80,000 barrels of gas condensates per day and 400 tons of sulfur as well as 1.1 million tons of liquefied petroleum gas and 1 million tons of ethane annually to provide petrochemical plants with feedstock.<br \/> \tSouth Pars is the world\u2019s largest gas field, shared between Iran and Qatar, covering an area of 3,700 square kilometers of Iran\u2019s territorial waters in the Persian Gulf.<br \/> \tIn the fiscal 2016-17, gas production from South Pars increased to 520 mcm\/d, up more than 150 mcm\/d compared with the previous year. Iran\u2019s total gas output is at 885 mcm\/d, according to published reports.<\/p>\n<p> \t\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>madaresharghi In line with efforts to complete the development project of South Pars, the first boiler for Phase 13 gas refinery went on stream on Friday, the director of Phase 13 development project said. \u201cOperations to complete Phase 13 onshore refinery have gained momentum and the launch of the first refining train by March 2018 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2,8],"tags":[296,118,28,31,159,639,178,56,213,84,95,82,68,22,23,27],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.7 -
