Iran’s NISOC Localizes Key Gas Turbines Parts

Experts at the National Iranian South Oil Company (NISOC) have successfully localized intricate parts used in gas turbines in line with support for local manufacturing and knowledge-based companies. According to NISOC, Saeid Aminizadeh, director of logistics and commodity affairs at the company, said the company had developed the 15 discs inside air compressors in the turbines together with the main body that holds and directs hot gases in the turbines. As he said, the parts were made of heat-resistant, high-precision super-alloys which were developed by local manufacturers. He added that the components are a type of turbines used widely in oil-rich regions that provide power to process pumps and gas injection compressors with a capacity of more than 14 MW.Aminizadeh said that the total cost of localized discs is less than a third of the same foreign samples. - Shana
