Central District is one of the eleventh Districts of the National Iranian Oil Pipelines and Telecommunication Company (IOPTC). The District is responsible for transporting crude oil to Arak Refinery and Tehran Refinery as well as supplying the fuel for the cities and rural areas in Lorestan, Hamedan, and Qom.
The District manages many pipelines of the crude oil and refined oil products within the territories of Lorestan, Central, Hamedan, Isfahan, and Qom provinces. The length of the pipelines under the Central Area's management amounts to 1595km.
Oil Operation Centers
There are 4 pump stations, 3 pressure reducing stations, and 3 oil terminals in order to carry out the operation in this District. The operation process involves many sampling and lab work on oil refined products( kerosene, oil gas, gasoline, jet fuel)such as determining different boiling points, and volatility point ,color and density, as well as oil products quality control and on time delivery of fuel for domestic consumption.
There are also terminals which receive oil products from pipe lines and store them in the storage tanks in order to be delivered for domestic consumption on demand. Pressure reducing stations are there too in order to reduce the pipe lines pressure while considering environmental factors and maintaining the oil products quality.
International Certificates
-ISO 14001, and ISO 9001 awarded in 1992
- OHSAS 18001 awarded in 1994

Control Rooms
Control Rooms in these stations enjoy state of the art technology .In addition to recording and screening the transporting and controlling parameters and problems, all other operations of major devices are provided. Using technical- scientific progresses and modern technology, powerful turbines, modern advanced informational systems, communication, telecommunication and modern measuring instruments have paved the way for making use of pipelines.
Installation
Qom, Malayer and Hamedan are Oil terminals where the Oil products are stored , based on a carefully designed plan, and then on demand they are transported to different destinations by oil tankers.
Pressure Reducing Stations
Shahid Mahdavi, Shahid Mirzee and Arak Pressure reducing stations, via the installed control valves, reduce the pressures in the pipelines in order to prevent the cracks.
Pigging
Pigging in the maintenance of pipelines refers to the practice of using Pipeline Inspection Gauges or "PIGs" to perform various operations on a pipeline, such as internal cleaning of pipelines, without stopping the flow of the product in the pipeline. These operations include but are not limited to cleaning and inspecting of the pipeline. Running pigs is carried out according to schedules set by Central Control in Tehran, and at the discretion of operational authorities.
Telecommunication
Today, the importance of telecommunication in different parts of the industries is significant. Central District Telecommunication works nonstop to ensure the smooth running of communications and telecommunications in the District. There are 20 communication stations (Radio Max, 4 Passive Stations, 1 mobile phone station, 9 telephone switch stations, 310 km of Fiber Optic).
Green space
Considering the important role of green spaces and areas for clean air and public health, this District tries to develop the green spaces with the belief that without environmental protection and optimized use of resources it is difficult to reach any industrial development. In this line, protection of the pipelines is the executive priority for the District. With 40 Cathodic protection stations and Smart Pigging it is tried to control and detect possible problems and sort them out in order to have safe and secure pipelines.
Technical and maintenance units
Technical and maintenance units work round the clock to provide service to all the stations in the District. The personnel in these units not only undertake the maintenance of the machinery, but also design, manufacture, and install the required machinery without relying on foreign companies.
Razan Pump Station
Razan Pump Station is the first Pump Station on 10", 16" 26" pipelines (Ahwaz- Ray) route. It is one of the Central Districts Stations which is located in Lorestan province (on the 50th km of Brojerd- Khorram Abad road), neighboring the main road. The 10" pipeline in Razan Pump Station has 2 electro motors, 1410 hp each, and is responsible for transporting the refined oil products from South to Azna Pump Station and Installation. The 16" pipeline in this Station has 4 electro motors, 1200 hp each, and is responsible for moving the oil products from south to Shazand Pump Station. The 26" pump house in this station is equipped with 4 sets of turbo pumps (NP), 6150 hp each, and 2 sets of solar turbine (4000 hp), which move the crude oil to Tehran and Arak Refineries.
Certificates
Following the measures taken to implement, and maintain quality management systems and continually improve its effectiveness, Central District has been awarded the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 Certificates in 2002.
Also, in 2004 the District achieved the OHSAS 18001 Certificate for successfully implementing the Health and Safety management system in the workplace.
