AquaChemie ME to set up $40m chemical facility in Dubai

AquaChemie Middle East, a leading regional chemical distributor with an extensive supply chain network and manufacturing base across the GCC region, will build a Dh150 million ($40 million) state-of-the-art chemical terminal facility at Jebel Ali Port in Dubai, UAE.

The one-of-its-kind facility will serve as a strategic gateway hub to enable and facilitate vital petrochemical trade across the GCC region and beyond. The new facility will benefit the global petrochemicals market valued at Dh146.5 trillion ($539.3 billion) in general and the UAE in particular, said a statement.

AquaChemie Middle East has signed on Mott MacDonald - a renowned global engineering, management and development consultancy - for the design, engineering and project management of the chemical terminal, scheduled to be commissioned by mid-2021.

As one of the top technical consultants in the world Mott MacDonald's services are at a premium and AquaChemie Middle East selected them exclusively, to ensure that the mega project is safe, sustainable and efficient.

The new chemical terminal will leverage its prime site location at Jebel Ali Port operated by DP World, including multiple jetty pipelines, along with other crucial existing utility and building support infrastructure.

In its entirety, the new chemical terminal will also comprise bulk storage tanks for liquid hydrocarbons
