Bandar Abbas Phosphoric Acid Plant
The Persian Gulf Chemical Park Company, which is fully owned by Parsian Chemical Industries conglomerate, plans to build a 200,000-ton factory of industrial phosphoric acid (54%) in Bandar Abbas Industrial Zone, Hormozgan Province, to reduce the country’s import of this product to a significant amount and complete the chain of phosphate and potash fertilizers by building downstream units of phosphoric acid and potassium chloride including monoammonium phosphate (MAP), dicalcium phosphate (DAP), super triphosphate (TSP) and potassium sulfate (SOP) and lead to added economic value.
Iran, which is rich in oil and gas reserves, suffers from a lack of phosphate rock. The Persian Gulf Chemical Park Company aims to solve this shortage in the country by importing phosphate soil and converting it into industrial phosphoric acid, with creating 200 direct jobs and 400 indirect jobs in Hormozgan province.

Persian Gulf Chemical Park Company has purchased 22 hectares land in Bandar Abbas Industrial Zone for the implementation of projects and the construction of units, and the license to establish a phosphoric acid unit has also been obtained. Also, this company is about to sign an EPC contract with ECEC China and it is expected that the 54% industrial phosphoric acid unit will be fully operational by the end of 2025.
In the production process of phosphoric acid, phosphogypsum which can be used as fertilizer containing calcium-sulphide-phosphate are produced as by-products.
54% industrial phosphoric acid is used to produce phosphate fertilizers such as monoammonium phosphate (MAP), dicalcium phosphate (DAP), super triphosphate (TSP), which increases soil fertility. In addition, this fertilizer can also be used in animal feed.
Phosphate products have a large market all over the world as well as in Iran, so it is predicted that Iran has the capacity to consume 1 million tons of industrial phosphoric acid (P2O5 = 54%) if available. In addition, due to the high demand, this product can easily be exported to other countries worldwide.
Production process:
First, imported phosphate soil is mixed with water. Then the obtained slurry reacts with sulfuric acid, which turns into 26% diluted phosphoric acid. This unit uses the country’s surplus sulfuric acid, which improves the country’s environmental conditions. Dilute phosphoric acid produced in the concentration unit is converted into 54% industrial phosphoric acid, which is the main product of the Persian Gulf Chemical Park.
Vision:
Completing the country’s phosphate and potash chain with creating added economic value inside the country.
