Jey Oil Refining Company
Design and development of magnetoactive nanoceramic coatings to inhibit the nucleation and growth of coke deposits in process equipment used in bitumen-producing refineries. Through surface engineering, these coatings prevent the initial adhesion of coke, thereby enhancing equipment efficiency and extending its service life.
Jey Oil Refining Company
Design and manufacture of an industrial turbo-compressor to supply combustion chamber air and plant compressed air by utilizing the heat generated from the combustion of excess gas. The key innovation is the elimination of the power turbine rotor and the splitting of the hot gas flow upstream of the gas-generator turbine inlet, which reduces costs while increasing aerodynamic loading.
Jey Oil Refining Company
Design and fabrication of a compact heat exchanger for preheating the compressed air supplied to the oxidation reactor from 90°C to 200°C, using direct flame heat and combustion products from excess gas. The heat exchanger is installed in the excess-gas burner wall and fabricated from A516 steel plate with minimized welding requirements.
Jey Oil Refining Company
Design and fabrication of an industrial-scale waste heat recovery boiler for steam generation using exhaust heat from the bitumen plant’s excess-gas burner, with the aim of reducing steam consumption from 18 to 9.5 tonnes per hour and utilizing low-grade waste energy.
Ahdaf Investment Company
Design of an intelligent engine for monitoring, anomaly detection, and predictive analysis of petrochemical market textual data using fine-tuned native language models and a RAG architecture, with the aim of transforming unstructured information into analyzable data and enabling faster decision-making.
Kangan Petro Refining Company
Design and development of formulations for six specialized grades of polyethylene- and polypropylene-based compounds and masterbatches (including crack-resistant, light-stabilized, silane-crosslinkable, barrier nanocomposite, halogen-free flame-retardant, and engineering-grade PP compounds) to enhance the value chain and reduce the sale of unprocessed raw materials.
Kangan Petro Refining Company
Execution of the first hot tapping operation (branch connection and repair without shutdown) on the high-pressure West Ethylene Pipeline carrying a sensitive process fluid, to establish a new branch connection without interrupting operations or causing product loss.
Kangan Petro Refining Company
Design, optimization, and prototyping of a 2 kW BLDC motor (48 V, 3,000 rpm, 12 poles/36 slots) for light electric vehicle applications, with the objective of reducing torque ripple from 18% to below 6%, while limiting the reduction in average torque to no more than 10% and achieving an efficiency of ≥85%.
Kangan Petro Refining Company
Design and implementation of an AI-based digital twin platform for real-time monitoring, coke formation prediction, and combustion optimization of cracking furnaces in an olefin unit using machine vision and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) data.
Nakhl Asmari
Improvement of the paraformaldehyde granule production process through optimization of the Prilling Tower system and installation of a recovery crusher to integrate the production cycle, reduce waste by up to 15%, increase production capacity, and achieve uniform particle size distribution to enhance competitiveness in export markets.
Nakhl Asmari
Modification of the waste-gas absorption system in the paraformaldehyde granule production unit through the design and installation of an advanced chemical scrubber capable of removing ≥95% of formaldehyde vapors and recovering formalin for recycling back into the production process, with the aim of reducing emissions, improving safety, and achieving economic savings.
Oil Design and Construction
Development of indigenous technical know-how and catalysts for the direct conversion of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into hydrocarbon fuels using low-carbon hydrogen, with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, establishing a circular carbon economy, and producing high-value-added fuels for the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries.
Oil Design and Construction
Development of a dynamic Operator Training Simulator (OTS) for a refinery isomerization unit to train operators and simulate normal and abnormal operating conditions, startup, shutdown, and emergency scenarios, with the aim of reducing human error and improving safety and operational efficiency without disrupting production.
Saba Naft Engineering and Construction Company
Design and implementation of an Agentic AI-based intelligent assistant for automated building massing, floor plan layout generation, and functional analysis of residential and commercial buildings, with simultaneous compliance with Iranian urban planning regulations and the Iranian National Building Regulations (Part 4), aimed at reducing design time from days to a few hours and optimizing investment decision-making.
Saba Naft Engineering and Construction Company
Design and implementation of an integrated intelligent HSE risk monitoring and analysis system based on artificial intelligence and Edge AI for the automatic detection of personal protective equipment (PPE), hazardous conditions, fire, and smoke through the fusion of visual and sensor data, enabling real-time risk prediction, reducing human error, and enhancing safety in the oil, gas, petrochemical, and construction industries.
Oil Exploration Operations Company
Design and fabrication of a portable integrated system for the management and treatment of oil-based drilling fluid waste by combining mechanical processes (separation, dewatering, and filter pressing) with bioremediation using a modified vermicomposting reactor, configured as a mobile operational unit deployable at drilling rig sites, with the aim of achieving >90% hydrocarbon reduction, minimizing waste volume, and recovering water.
