A <strong>Breakthrough</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Saudi</strong> <strong>Arabia</strong> -<br />
SCHNEIDER has been awarded the contract to supply the <strong>in</strong>stallation hardware for the SADARA<br />
project <strong>in</strong> <strong>Saudi</strong> <strong>Arabia</strong><br />
The Dow Chemical Company and the <strong>Saudi</strong> <strong>Arabia</strong>n Oil Company (<strong>Saudi</strong> Aramco) set up a jo<strong>in</strong>t<br />
venture to build what will be the largest chemical factory <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>dustrial city of Jubail. The factory will<br />
be one of the largest <strong>in</strong>tegrated chemical sites <strong>in</strong> the world, and is also the largest chemical factory ever<br />
to have been built <strong>in</strong> one go. It is <strong>in</strong>tended that an annual total of more than 2 million tonnes of chemical<br />
products and high-performance plastics will be produced for use <strong>in</strong> the fields of energy, transportation,<br />
<strong>in</strong>frastructure and consumer goods. Plann<strong>in</strong>g was started as early as 2007. Before this took place,<br />
comprehensive project feasibility studies were necessary to obta<strong>in</strong> approval for the new "Sadara<br />
Chemical Company" jo<strong>in</strong>t venture.<br />
The first of 26 production units is <strong>in</strong>tended to be commissioned <strong>in</strong> the second half of 2015, with<br />
completion and total commission<strong>in</strong>g expected <strong>in</strong> 2016. It is expected that only a few years after<br />
commission<strong>in</strong>g, Sadara will have annual sales of around 10 billion US dollars – the total <strong>in</strong>vestment <strong>in</strong><br />
the project amounted to about 20 billion US dollars. SCHNEIDER was awarded the contract to supply<br />
the commissioned EPCs with Dow Chemical's <strong>in</strong>stallation hardware technology that has been tried and<br />
tested for many years. The <strong>in</strong>stallation hardware is a comb<strong>in</strong>ation of valves (ball valves or gate valves),<br />
manifolds, pipel<strong>in</strong>e components, seals, bolts and flush r<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> every imag<strong>in</strong>eable material. The<br />
<strong>in</strong>stallation hardware is delivered pre-assembled, so that it is only necessary to hitch the hardware to<br />
the process pipe, on-site. This reduces the amount of time and effort needed for assembly at the site<br />
considerably.<br />
The first deliveries are planned for the end of 2012. This is SCHNEIDER's biggest project <strong>in</strong> company<br />
history and gives the possibility to get much better known <strong>in</strong> this region as a manufacturer and supplier<br />
of <strong>in</strong>strumentation valves and manifolds for measur<strong>in</strong>g and control technology.
