The plant is being developed and operated by Egypt’s Hyrdocarbon Corporation. It comsists of a nitric acid and an ammonium nitrate unit, together with associated infrastructure and facilities, including storage tanks, pipelines and utilities.
Scheduled to be completed in August 2014, the plant will produce 1,060 million tons a day of mining-grade ammonium nitrate for use in the mining and construction industries.
