World’s Largest Petrochemical Plant to Be Built in Iran
2004-05-06
Pilot studies have been carried out to construct the world’s largest petrochemical plant in Iran, said here Tuesday, an official in Iran’s Petrochemical Industries Development Management. The plant that is to be constructed in Assaluyeh is planned to produce 1.900,000 tons of olefin yearly, added deputy chairman of the Iranian Petrochemical Industries Development Management, Mohammad Khayyat. “More than 1.3 billion dollars is needed for the construction of the unit. French, German and Iranian companies have been invited to participate in the bid,” commented the official. Khayyat further explained, “Also, agreements have already been signed with foreign and Iranian companies to build two petrochemical units in Ilam and Kharg.”
(I wonder what else those mullahs will be attempting to produce at this Iranian petrol-chemical (weapons) plant)

#6  Olefin by the ton suggests a plastics plant. Save your bombs for the nuke facilities.

"Plastics" or plastique? Inquiring minds want to know!

#5  Maybe they just need an extra "spark" to light things up.

#4  Yaeh, Laurence, Iran has so "little" oil, they need a "nuculur" power plant.

#3  But I thought they were going to use nuclear power for their power needs?

#1  If the plant's really that big at least it'll be hard to miss in the bombsights. Hope they have good insurance.
