About Petro Ayman Sharif
Located in the Varamin Charmshahr Industrial Complex, with an area of ۹,۶۰۰ square meters, Petro Ayman Sharif consists of four 2,000 square meter production sheds and a storage capacity of 4,500 tons. The 300 ton all-steel reactor with Complete mix technology and a daily loading capacity of 4,400 tons demonstrates the high operational capacity of this complex. Advanced electrical equipment has established the company’s position in the oil and gas industry.
Power quality issues, including high harmonics, were putting strain on equipment and disrupting production and loading processes. For this reason, Petro Ayman Sharif decided to install a 200-amp active harmonic filter at its second site to address these challenges.

Active Harmonic Filter Compensation
Technical Benefits of the Project
The 200-amp active harmonic filter reduced the current harmonic distortion from an average of 13.1% on the load side to an average of 5.4% on the grid side. The power factor (DPF) was maintained at 0.98 and the PF improved from negative to positive values. This improvement reduced the stress on electrical equipment and prevented harmonic-induced failures. The 26.5-amp neutral current indicates effective compensation.
Increased grid stability, reduced production stoppages, and improved equipment coordination were key outcomes of the project. The useful life of transformers and motors was extended, and maintenance costs were significantly reduced.
Economic Benefits of the Project
Installing the 200-amp filter resulted in annual energy savings of approximately 280 million riyals. A 25% increase in generator capacity created an added value of approximately 500 million riyals. These savings were achieved by reducing energy losses and optimizing system performance.
The project strengthened Petro Ayman Sharif’s competitiveness in the industry with a rapid return on investment and enabled investment in future development projects.
Conclusion
The installation of a 200-amp active harmonic filter by Honam Part Energy significantly improved power quality at Petro Ayman Sharif’s second site. The reduction in operating costs and increased production stability demonstrated the value of this technology. As a successful example, this project can serve as a guide for other industries.
The close cooperation between Honam Part Energy and Petro Ayman Sharif highlighted the importance of investing in modern electrical technologies and defined new standards for power quality in the region.
