The Mahboub Industrial Group, with over four decades of experience in producing petrochemical materials, has always been pursuing the improvement of processes and increasing efficiency in various industries. One of the recent achievements of this group is replacing the process of cooling air coolers instead of systems based on water circulation, which has led to optimizing water and electricity consumption.

Cooling Process in Chemical Industries

In chemical industries, temperature control in production units is of great importance. The traditional method for this purpose has been using water-based cooling systems. Although these systems are efficient, they come with high water and energy consumption, which is challenging in conditions of water scarcity and increasing energy costs.

Replacing Air Coolers

Through extensive research and studies, the Mahboub Group has successfully replaced water-based cooling systems with air coolers. These coolers dissipate heat from the systems using airflow and significantly reduce the need for water consumption. The advantages of this method include reducing operational costs, preserving water resources, and reducing environmental impacts.

Role of Moldan Chemical Industries Company

Moldan Chemical Industries Company, a subsidiary of the Mahboub Group, has played a key role in this project. Established in 2002 with the aim of increasing the production capacity of PVC plasticizers, the company met the needs of resin and polyester production units by launching an adipic acid production line in 2007. The company's factory is located 15 kilometers from Qom city and is recognized as the first and largest private sector producer of this substance in the country with a production capacity of 30,000 tons of adipic acid.

Benefits of Using Air Coolers in Moldan Chemical Industries

Implementing air cooling systems in the production units of Moldan Chemical Industries has yielded positive results:

Water consumption reduction: By eliminating water-based cooling systems, water consumption has significantly decreased, which is particularly important in water-scarce areas like Qom.

Electricity savings: Air coolers, with higher efficiency, consume less energy compared to traditional systems, resulting in reduced energy costs.

Environmental preservation: Reducing the consumption of natural resources and energy has positive environmental impacts and contributes to environmental sustainability.

Summary

The initiative of the Mahboub Group and Moldan Chemical Industries Company in replacing water-based cooling systems with air coolers demonstrates the commitment of this group to improving processes, preserving natural resources, and increasing efficiency. This achievement can serve as a model for other industries in the country to contribute to sustainable development and environmental preservation by utilizing innovative technologies.
