Recently, Nanjing Engineering Company, which is part of the Refining and Chemical Engineering Group, won the bid for the BFS & FEED project for a sulfur-phosphorus chemical complex in Kazakhstan. This is not only the company’s first FEED project in the Kazakhstani market, but it also represents another significant breakthrough as the company expands its sulfur-phosphorus business into international markets. This win clearly demonstrates the company’s strong technical expertise in the field of thiophosphorus chemicals as well as its considerable international competitiveness. It is also a tangible example of the company’s ongoing efforts to enhance its own technical capabilities, deepen international cooperation, and contribute to the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative. Next, the company will use this project as an opportunity to further expand its sulfur and phosphorus business in overseas markets, strive to strengthen and improve the sulfur and phosphorus chemical industry, and continue to create value for its customers. Located in Zhanatas, Kazakhstan, the construction includes 2 sulfuric acid plants with a capacity of 800,000 tons per year each, as well as a fertilizer plant with a capacity of 1 million tons per year. As an important part of Kazakhstan’s industrial development strategy, once the project is operational, it will help the region shift from relying on resource extraction and export to engaging in advanced chemical processing and high-value manufacturing activities. This will facilitate industrial upgrading and economic development, while also contributing to the training of local professionals to support sustainable regional development. Facing the complex environment of the international engineering market, the company adheres to a path of high-end and differentiated development, formulates and implements a market development strategy centered on Saudi Arabia with a focus on the Middle East, and continuously improves its system construction and regional layout. In 2024, the company renewed the service framework contract for the Rastanura refinery with Saudi Aramco, thereby strengthening its advantages in the traditional construction market ； In the same year, new progress was made in the Central Asian and North African markets, with wins for the basic design project for sulfuric acid in Kazakhstan and feasibility study services for phosphogypsum in Morocco, marking new breakthroughs in the company’s core business areas ； In 2025, the company won a bid for an LNG project with an Abu Dhabi-based oil company, thereby opening up new business areas and contributing to a more diversified presence in overseas markets.
