National Industrial Gases Company (GAS), an affiliate of Saudi
Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), has awarded a lump sum turnkey
contract for the engineering, procurement and construction of an
air separation plant to Air Products Plc.
The plant will be constructed in Yanbu Industrial City and is scheduled
for completion by the middle of 2005. The capacity will be 800 tons
of oxygen per day.
Established twenty years ago, and based in Jubail and Yanbu, the
National Industrial Gases Company produces oxygen, nitrogen, argon,
and krypton-xenon.
Commenting on the announcement, Mohamed Al-Mady, Vice Chairman and
CEO of SABIC, said: “As SABIC grows and moves towards its
total production target of 48 million mt/y by 2010 we will need
more oxygen as a feedstock for our downstream plants. I am pleased
to say that this new contract will help supply some of that additional
raw material.”
