1. General
            Bander abas was constructed and    put into operation in 1979 by Fuor-Thyssen Consortium on a plot of land with    an area of 400 hectares, located along the road to Tehran and 5 km distant    from Esfahan, to process the crude light oil coming from Bander    abas -Maroon    oil fields. Esfahan refinery consists of two parallel trains, each producing    a rated capacity of 100,000 bpd. Each existing train of the refinery consists    of two plants, one for the distillation, and the other for the catalyst    conversion. The units of CDU, VDU, LPG, and VIS Breaker… are located in the    distillation plant, and the units of Plat Former, Unifier, Isomax,    Hydrogen…are located in the catalyst conversion plant.
            Bander abas Oil Refining    Company intends to increase its oil refining capacity up to 360,000 bpd. To    this end, the sub-project package “B” called “Bander    abas Refinery Development and Revamping Project” specified by the    following table of project features was assigned to a joint venture of Pier    Group Co., Tarh-o-Palayesh, and Bander abas. By this project,    not only the capacity of Esfahan Oil Refinery will be increase, but also some    parts of Esfahan Refinery will be revamped and the entire control system of    the Refinery will be equipped with the electronic systems.

Pier Perltite, Bander abas Joint Venture have    taken necessary measures to fulfill their contractual obligations on design,    procurement, and construction of the undertaken Project.
        This    Project is deemed significant and complicated because the Project works have    to be continued simultaneous with the regular capacity operation of Esfahan    Refinery which is one of the largest refineries in Iran. Construction of such    significant and complex task project demands special professionalism and care    to be taken for safety and HSE measures, which will be meticulously    accomplished by the Joint Venture of Pier Group
