Chinese Manufacturing Shines in Iran's Petrochemical Industry: Sinton Explosion-proof Heating Solution Successfully Delivered

In the context of the global energy and chemical industry's continuous transformation towards safety, efficiency and intelligence, China's high-end industrial equipment is winning the deep trust of the international market with its outstanding performance and reliability. Recently, Sinton Electric Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Sinton") successfully completed the delivery and integration of a customized explosion-proof flange heater project for the renowned Iranian high-tech enterprise Phedco Petrochemical Company. This is not only a successful equipment supply case, but also a vivid illustration of China's smart manufacturing deeply participating in the industrial upgrading of important oil-producing countries around the world.

Deeply focusing on the domestic market in Iran and emphasizing innovation, there is an urgent need for high-standard solutions.

As an important energy-producing country, Iran's petrochemical industry is rapidly developing towards technological autonomy and intelligence. Recently, Iran has successively launched several AI monitoring systems and domestic knowledge-based management systems, aiming to enhance the operational efficiency and safety of the oil and gas industry. At the same time, in key process areas, such as gas purification, Iran's domestically developed advanced nano-catalysts have been successfully applied to multiple large refineries, significantly improving environmental and economic benefits. Against this backdrop, Phedco, an Iranian high-tech enterprise dedicated to designing and developing new environmentally friendly technology products, has set extremely high requirements for its core production equipment: not only must it comply with strict ATEX explosion-proof standards, but also must have high-precision temperature control, group management, and outstanding durability to match its modern and efficient production line.

Sinton responds precisely, offering customized solutions that combine security and performance.

In response to the dual stringent standards of safety and performance set by customers, Sinton, leveraging its profound technical expertise, has provided the explosion-proof flange heaters solutions of models XTFL-24(EX) and XTFL-48(EX). The core advantage of this solution lies in its comprehensive alignment with the high standards of the petrochemical industry:

Top-level security certification and protection: The explosion-proof rating of the equipment reaches ExdbIICT4Gb, and the protection rating is IP66. This fully meets the safety operation requirements in flammable and explosive as well as harsh industrial environments. This demonstrates Sinton's profound understanding and strict implementation of international safety standards (such as IEC standards).

2.Intelligent temperature control and high reliability design: The equipment is equipped with three K-type thermocouples, supporting multi-point real-time temperature monitoring. This enables precise closed-loop control of the lubricating oil heating process, avoiding the risk of local overheating. The heating tube adopts a low surface load design and SS304 seamless pipe material. Combined with angle-type wiring and group control (such as 24KW divided into 15KW + 9KW two groups), it not only extends the service life but also improves energy efficiency and control flexibility.

3.Full-process quality assurance and compliance with standards: From design, manufacturing to inspection, Sinton strictly adheres to China's industry standards such as JB/T2379-2016 "Metal Tubular Electric Heating Elements", and also refers to the design concepts of petrochemical electrical automation systems. Before each device leaves the factory, it undergoes a 2000V/min voltage test and a 0.75MPa water pressure test to ensure that the insulation resistance is greater than 50MΩ. It also comes with a complete inspection report and a certificate of conformity, ensuring the reliability of the product throughout the entire cycle from factory to operation.

Beyond a single project: The global significance of Sinton's solution

This successful cooperation with Iran's Phedco has far-reaching significance beyond a simple equipment export:

Supporting the domestication strategy: The heating equipment provided by Sinton, which is of international advanced level, directly supported Iranian local high-tech enterprises like Phedco in enhancing the equipment level of their key production links. This aligns with Iran's strategic direction of promoting the domestic substitution of key equipment.

Highlighting the depth of Chinese manufacturing: The project demonstrates that industrial heating equipment manufacturers in China, such as Sinton, have the capability to provide highly customized and highly reliable complete solutions based on the specific working conditions of customers (such as lubricant heating, explosive environments), which is different from simple product trading. It is a concentrated manifestation of technical strength and engineering experience.

In line with the global trend of industrial intelligence: functions such as multi-point temperature measurement and group control are in line with the trend of the petrochemical industry to pursue refined management and energy efficiency optimization. This leaves room for integrating higher-level data collection and remote monitoring interfaces in equipment and connecting to the industrial internet platform, which is in line with the development direction of intelligent factories.

Strengthening the green and sustainable image: Efficient and durable equipment helps reduce customers' long-term energy consumption and maintenance costs, indirectly reducing carbon emissions. This is in line with the global petrochemical industry's pursuit of green and low-carbon development.

Looking forward to the future

The successful implementation of this project has set a benchmark for Sinton in the markets along the "Belt and Road" initiative and globally in key petrochemical centers. With the planning and construction of large-scale oil hub projects in various regions around the world, such as Ghana, the demand for high-standard and highly reliable industrial equipment will continue to grow. Sinton will further deepen its research and development efforts, bringing more intelligent, efficient and safe heating solutions to global customers, and playing a more crucial role in the transformation and upgrading of the global energy and chemical industries.
