EC 203-458-1
chemXplore tracks 8 projects producing ethylene dichloride (EDC), of which 3 are active.
Of the active ones, 2 new construction and 1 expansion.
Two Ruwais projects secured $1.39bn; terminal received $928m (incl. $225m Islamic), ammonia $460m for a 1 mtpa plant. EPC works are >90% (ammonia) and ~70% (terminal).
Acquisition secures the UK’s sole ethylene dichloride capacity and integrates chlor‑alkali and EDC production at Runcorn, protecting critical chlorine supply for water treatment.
A new CA‑EDC plant will cut import reliance and save foreign exchange; planned output 400 KTA caustic soda and 500 KTA EDC; ~80% complete (Sep 2026); commercial start in 2027.
Single-source framework for engineering, installation, asset performance, access and insulation at Delfzijl chemical park; three-year term with two-year extension option.
USD>800M CA‑EDC plant at 80% completion; main equipment being installed; start planned for 2027; capacities 827 kt caustic soda and 500 kt EDC with significant import substitution and export potential.
Buys remaining 50% of Runcorn MCP and EDC assets and staff; integrates chlor‑alkali and EDC value chain to secure chlorine supply for water treatment; completion subject to approvals, due later this year.
Construction of a Chlor‑Alkali and EDC plant is 72% complete; operations targeted for 2027 and Phase II planned with a $1bn investment.
CA‑EDC now 66% complete and entering jetty and storage tank construction to support 827 kt/year caustic soda and 500 kt/year EDC; operations targeted Q1 2027.
Oversubscribed financing via 11-bank syndicate with conventional and Islamic facilities, priced to benchmarks. EPC awarded; construction under way for 2028, boosting domestic chemicals value chain.
Study to develop up to 14 industrial chemicals, adding ~2.2 mtpa capacity in Al Ruwais to support import substitution, local supply‑chain resilience and MIITE industrial strategy.
