• Both plants to use Nuberg-owned Sulphuric Acid technology
• Prestigious project during the pandemic
• Nuberg EPC has built more than seven Sulphuric Acid projects worldwide
• Projects won from International Company for Chemical Industry and Chemical Industry Corporation – Awash Melkassa Chemical Factory (CIC-AMCF), Ethiopia and International Company for Chemical Industry (ICCI), Egypt

NEW DELHI, Oct. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading Indian Global EPC and turnkey project management company, Nuberg EPC today announced winning two Sulphuric Acid plant projects in Gamasa City, Egypt and Oromia, Ethiopia. The 500 MTPD + 5MW Rating STG Set in Egypt and 50 TPD Sulfuric Acid + 40 TPD Aluminium Sulphate Project in Ethiopia have been won on EPC & LSTK basis. The Egypt project is scheduled to be delivered in 22 months and the Ethiopia project in 15 months from the contract LC opening date.

These projects are an acknowledgement of Nuberg EPC's advanced Sulphuric Acid technology - Double Contact Double Absorption (DCDA) and execution capability. In this process, the product gases Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Sulfur Trioxide (SO3) are passed through absorption towers twice to achieve further absorption and production of higher-grade sulfuric acid. Before this, the company has built more than seven Sulfuric Acid plants in Saudi Arabia, India, Egypt, Turkey, Bangladesh, and Oman. Over the years, Nuberg EPC has established itself as a world-class Sulphuric Acid EPC- LSTK supplier. This is also the fifth turnkey project in Egypt. The others include a Caustic Soda plant for the Egyptian Petrochemical Company in Alexandria, a Calcium Chloride plant for TCI Sanmar Chemicals in Port Said, a Sulphuric Acid plant for AGROCHEM in Alexandria, and a 500 MTPD Sulphuric Acid Plant for Sprea Misr in Ramadan City, Egypt.

Sulfuric Acid finds its way in a wide range of applications in the hydrocarbon (oil & gas) industry and is one of the most important industrial chemicals. The major use of sulfuric acid is in the production of fertilizers, in petroleum refining to wash impurities out of gasoline, in derivatives, and other refinery & petrochemical products, in processing metals, and in automobiles as the electrolyte in the lead-acid storage battery. Whereas Aluminium Sulphate is a chemical used as a coagulant in the purification of drinking water, in paper sizing, and other industrial applications in the country.

Tyagi, MD, Nuberg EPC commented, "We look forward to further strengthen the faith of the clients in our Sulphuric Acid turnkey project expertise and engineering talent.
