MAIRE’s Nextchem has won the €125 million (~$144.26 million) technology package for SABIC AN’s SAN-7 fertiliser project in Al Jubail.
The scope covers licensing, process design and proprietary equipment supply using NX STAMI Urea technology.
The grassroots plant will comprise two urea units of 3,850 metric tons per day each, adding to Saudi Arabia’s fertiliser output and export capacity.
The project aligns with SABIC’s long-term vision to expand Saudi Arabia’s fertilizer production and export capabilities, strengthening the Kingdom’s contribution to global food security, and supporting the industrial development goals outlined in Saudi Vision 2030.
Fabio Fritelli, Managing Director of Nextchem, commented: “Nextchem’s selection confirms the strength of our proprietary NX STAMI Urea technology platform and the trust that leading players such as SABIC AN place in our ability to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions at scale. It further reflects the strong momentum that we are building in the fertilizers segment, as also demonstrated by our recent awards, while reaffirming our commitment to supporting customers with technologies that combine operational efficiency, reliability and long-term competitiveness.”
