Since the beginning of establishment in 1377 till now the research and development department of Razi Petrochemical co. has made 61 researching projects conclusion contracts.
In this relation, it has continued collaboration with different researching centers like universities such as: Sharif university of Technology, Science and Technology university, Shiraz university, Isfahan university of Technology, university of Petroleum Industry and so on ?. And also Research Institute of Petroleum Industry and different researching companies such as: Research Institute of Petroleum Industry and different researching companies such as: Andishvaran Consultant Engineers, Process and Material Innovation and ?. Complex personnel.
Altogether, from the 61 concluded contracts, about 35 projects have completed and the other 26 projects are in performing phase.

The quantitative distributions of researching projects are as follow:

	Distribution percent
researching Centers and institutions	57.3
Universities	24.6
Research and Institute of Petroleum Industry	14.5
research and development and Company?s personnel	3.3

 

The most important achievements of performed researching projects are as follow:

1- CHANGING THE DAP FERTILIZER FORMULATION AND ASP FERTILIZER PRODUCTION
By performing this researching project, a part of country?s need to ammonium
Sulfate has obviated and also because of decreasing the phosphate soil importing
It has prevented 22 million dollars flight of currency and it has been used the Excess potential of sulfuric acid units production and also the cost of new production Toward the DAP has been decreased.

2- OPTIMIZING THE OPERATION OF NEW WATER TREATMENT CLARIFIER OPERATION
Lime omitting in new water treatment unit and also omitting the lime and soda ash in raw water clarifier units and substituting the caustic caused to decrease the raw water hardness and to omit 80% of outlet raw water calcium and caused to produce a kind of water with extra low hardness.
It has been caused to decrease the scaling risk of calcium mixtures in membranes, cooling towers and heat exchangers about nearly 400%. The minimum economies of performing this project are 7,500,276,960 rials per year.

3- CHANGING THE PHOSPHATE SOIL PATH
By performing this project a new path is made and designed for phosphate soil transportation that prevents soil losses and environmental pollution.
The economies of performing this project is 753,343 dollars per year

4- CONCIDERATION OF RUBBER REPLACEMENT WITH OTHER SUITABLE COATS
By performing the mentioned project a pilot has been made and designed for internal coats test in corrosion environment conditions and under different temperatures statically and dynamically that its major use is for testing the replacement samples in the complex.
