Milan/Italy – Maire has recently announced that a consortium composed by its Integrated E&C Solutions (IE&CS) subsidiary Tecnimont and Orascom Construction has been awarded a Lump Sum Turn-Key Engineering Procurement and Construction contract for a nitric acid and ammonium nitrate plant by Kima, Egyptian Chemical Industries Company.

The contract value to the consortium is approximately 300 million dollars, of which about 220 million dollars pertains to Tecnimont. The finalization of the contract is subject to successful execution of the financing package. The scope of work includes mainly engineering, supply of all materials and equipment – to be performed by Tecnimont – as well as construction activities to be carried out by Orascom Construction. The plant, whose completion is expected in the first half of 2026, will produce 600 tons per day of nitric acid, that will be fully transformed into 800 tons per day of fertilizer-grade, granulated, ammonium nitrate, which will be sold to local farmers, increasing the yields of their crops, as well as exported to international markets.

This project follows Kima’s ammonia and urea large plant built by Tecnimont and Orascom Construction and successfully started up in 2020 in the same industrial complex, located in the Aswan Governorship, in Upper Egypt.
