【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Equipment】1335–2023: Commissioning of EPC projects by Chinese companies for soda ash and calcium chloride production in Saudi Arabia

Thread Content

At 04:00 on the morning of September 1, 2023, local time in Saudi Arabia, thanks to the efficient operation of the carbonization tower – a key patented equipment owned by Sinochem Chengda – the soda ash and calcium chloride project in Saudi Arabia, which was under the general contracting of Sinochem Chengda, was brought online successfully in its first attempt, with product specifications exceeding those specified in the contract. This project is the first soda ash project in the GCC**, and it is also the first chemical project in the region in recent years that is not related to oil and gas. The process technology for the soda ash production unit in this project is proprietary to Chengda Company. For the first time in the Middle East, an entire chemical plant has been built using \"Chinese standards, Chinese technology, and Chinese manufacturing,\" thereby successfully introducing Chinese (chemical) standards, Chinese (chemical) technology, and key equipment overseas – making it a model project for going global. This project has successfully implemented \"modular design, factory prefabrication, and skid-mounted installation\" in areas such as boilers and power distribution rooms, becoming yet another successful example of Chengda Company’s efforts in pursuing these three approaches.
