The Faculty of Petrochemical
General Information:

In order to execute the contents of the letter of the agreement that signed by IPPI and NPC-RI, petrochemical faculty was founded at 2002, and its activities officially started to work at 2003. This faculty consists of three research departments as follow:
1. Department of gas conversion
2. Department of petrochemical synthesis
3. Department of engineering design and construction
 
The most important research fields:
- Converting of natural gas to petrochemical products.
- Membrane cell Technology of chloral-alkali process.
- Synthesis of catalysis for petrochemical gas phase reaction.
- Standard Engineering design and documentation.
- Construction of pilot-plants and laboratory scale set-up.
