Quality-Driven Manufacturing
Final products of the Zavieh production site are formulated by the Research and Development Department and designed to be added to drilling fluid systems, both in the Oil and Gas drilling industry and Mining drilling projects. As mentioned earlier, there are two types of products as the outcome of the modification or production process: Liquid (including gel) and powder. Liquid products are discharged and packed in 5-gallon or 55-gallon containers. 5-gallon containers are polyethylene and acid-proof. 55-gallon containers are metal with anti-corrosive inside coating or polyethylene with pressure valves on their lids. All containers are sealed before being dispatched to the customer. Powder products are discharged and packed in paper or plastic sacks of 12.5 or 25 kg. Paper sacks have 4 layers and a valve that enables the sack to be sealed automatically. Plastic sacks are normally used for repacking some material and are sealed manually.
Specifics
The site is located in the Zavieh industrial area (Markazi province, Central Iran) and is strategically situated at 85 km from Tehran.
