Daelim Industrial Installs Carbon Dioxide Removal Facility in Saudi Ammonia Plant

A carbon dioxide removal facility is installed at Maaden Ammonia III Plant in Saudi Arabia.

Daelim Industrial announced on Sept. 21 that it has successfully installed a carbon dioxide removal facility at the ammonia production plant it is building in Saudi Arabia.

The site is located in the Ras al-Khair area, 80 kilometers north of Jubail in the eastern part of Saudi Arabia. The project was awarded by Saudi Arabia’s state-run mineral company Maaden. The total cost of the project is about 1.1 trillion won. Daelim Industrial is carrying out the project on an EPC lump sum turnkey basis. Ground was broken in November 2018 and 61 percent of the work has been done. Daelim Industrial will complete the project in the second half of 2021.

A carbon dioxide removal facility plays a key role in an ammonia production plant. Carbon dioxide generated in the process of decomposing natural gas must be removed as it interferes with ammonia synthesis.

The facility installed at the site took one year and two months to manufacture. It consists of two large tank-type structures made of stainless steel resistant to corrosion. The two structures are about 50 meters tall and weigh 490 tons and 584 tons, respectively. They were manufactured in Korea and shipped to Saudi Arabia. It took 11 hours for Daelim Industrial to install them. The company mobilized a 1,250-ton crane. Once completed, the plant will produce 3,300 tons of ammonia per day.
