Project overview

For the Iranian Offshore Oil Company's Kish operational area, Kahroba Tavan is executing the basic overhaul of the Alvand jack-up rig's rotating machinery — air compressors, electromotors, mud pumps, purifiers, fans, mixers and diesel pumps — including redesign and fabrication of custom components.

Under international sanctions, some critical parts — notably purifiers — could not be sourced; partnering with knowledge-based companies, the team designed and manufactured a domestic portable purifier from scratch, exceeding the operational requirements of the offshore environment.
