Iran self-sufficient in building gas turbo-compressors: Official
Press TV – January 24, 2013
An Iranian energy official says the Islamic Republic has become self-sufficient in building gas turbo-compressors and is now among six countries which manufacture the equipment.
Director for Research and Technology at the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) Saeed Pakseresht said gas turbo-compressors are high-tech equipment whose design and manufacture technology is monopolized by a handful of European and American companies.
He added that domestic manufacturers can now design and manufacture indigenous turbo-compressors for gas projects across Iran.
Prior to such achievement, Pakseresht pointed out, Iranian companies made certain parts of gas turbines by transferring technology from foreign companies, but they are currently capable of both designing and building the whole assembly in the country.
The NIGC official noted that the Iranian Oil Ministry signed an agreement with a domestic research center in March 2012, commissioning the center to indigenize and develop the technology necessary for design and manufacture of gas turbines with capacities ranging from 25 to 30 megawatts.

Do not sell Iran short – it is winning its confrontation with the Zionist forces in the US.

The real lesson here is that the sanctions on Iran are costing General Electric not just its current business but untold future business opportunities that are simply gone. All in the service of wars for Israel.

You’re assuming the US doesn’t have its own reasons (completely unrelated to Israel) for not wanting a nuclear armed Iran… That would be a wrong assumption!…

Funny way of winning… Last time I checked both the US and Israel were doing much better economically then Iran… Also, their citizens enjoy a much higher standard of living… There’s one thing that Iran has which neither the US nor Israel have: huge parades where “death to Iran” is chanted… Whereas Iran has such parades where “death to big satan (US)” and “death to the little satan (Israel)” are chanted…

ALL God fearing/loving spirits on earth, want big and little satan destroyed. God LOVES Iran.. c’mon…scub…. being one of the evil lovers… you are familiar with the TRUE word of God.. not the drivel/bible you zionists rewrote in 1947 and feed to the unsuspecting ignorant sheeple…evil ones are the ones ‘running’ for their lives. You must have MANY websites where your unwelcome ilk wants you… you are the odd man out.. and, quite frankly, we hear enough of your lies on t.v. if we want to turn it on… I don’t.. their words and deeds make me want to puke. Don’t worry tho scub… GOD doesn’t need you to tell HIM when to move His Righteous hand… He has it all planned out. Remember? We must NEVER forget what evil did to Heaven and Gods beloved family. THAT is what THIS is ALL about.
