Project Profile


Value: US$1,500 million
Start-up Year: 2013
Capacity: 3,500 tonne/day
Location: Ruwais, Abu Dhabi

FERTIL-2 Project (Ruwais Fertiliser Expansion) is located in Ruwais Industrial Zone about 235km from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, consists of ammonia and urea processing plants with an installed capacity of 1,000 metric tons per day (MTPD) for ammonia and 1,500MTPD for urea. Since commissioning the two plants have been improved and current ammonia production stands at 1,310MTPD and urea at 1,850MTPD. FERTIL (Ruwais Fertiliser Industries) is a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC). The company was established in October 1980 as a joint venture between ADNOC and TOTAL.

Construction of the first processing plant began in 1980 and production began in December 1983. The plan was to use lean gas supplied from the onshore fields of BAB, ASAB (a production enhancement contract worth $2.3bn was awarded to Petrofac in January 2009) and Thamama-C to manufacture fertilisers. Following consultation in late 2008 and early 2009 between ADNOC and TOTAL regarding ammonia and urea production capacity, it was decided a new plant should be built (FERTIL-1 was already involved in a capacity enhancement project). In October 2009 FERTIL gave the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning contract to Samsung Engineering of Korea to develop a new US$1.2bn fertiliser plant known as FERTIL-2.

The new facility is located in the Ruwais Industrial Zone and produces ammonia and urea, with a production capacity of 2,000MTPD and 3,500MTPD respectively. Uhde of Germany provided the process technology licence for ammonia production. The ammonia plant was designed and constructed by Japanese company Chiyoda Engineering Corporation using a process licence from M/s Haldor Topsoe of Denmark, while the process licence for the carbon dioxide recovery unit was from the Ben Field Corporation (US). A hydrogen recovery unit, licensed by M/s Costain of the UK, was added in 1988. The latest development, which was started in late 2008, is a US$240m debottlenecking project of the urea plant, which will see its capacity increase by 50%.

FERTIL has engaged M/s Descon Engineering of Pakistan for engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and start-up (US$177m) and M/S Urea Casale of Switzerland for detailed engineering. The contracts were signed in July 2007. The project will allow the plant to produce 2,700MTPD of urea so it can provide about 800MTPD for the melamine plant and 1,900MTPD for granulation. The granulation unit technology licence is being provided by Uhde Fertilizer Technology of the Netherlands (2,500MTPD) and the carbon dioxide recovery technology and licence is being provided by Japan\'s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (400MTPD).
