Saudi firm first in Gulf to make sodium carbonate and calcium chloride
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 02 - 11 - 2011

Idea Soda Ash and Calcium Chloride Company (Isacc) has signed up Jacobs Engineering to build a soda ash and calcium chloride production facility at cost of SR1.1 billion ($293.3 million) in Jubail.
The facility will be the first in the Kingdom and Gulf region to produce sodium carbonate and calcium chloride, said Abdulaziz Yahya Al-Muaiyyad, managing director and CEO of Isacc and Dr Bob Irvin, Group VP of Jacobs Engineering after signing the deal.
Isacc, the founding company of Jubail Inorganic Chemicals Industries Company, said the unit will have a total annual capacity of up to 800000 tons.
Under the agreement, Jacobs will provide engineering and project management services for the construction of an industrial complex for Jubail Inorganic Chemicals Industries Company.
Al-Muaiyyad described the project as a strategic one for Saudi Arabia since it will be contribute significantly to the development of the Kingdom's non-oil economy with all basic materials secured from mines within the country.
"The project will provide the Kingdom's requirements for Soda Ash and Calcium Chloride, used in oil and gas drilling operations and the manufacture of glass and detergents, which are currently being imported from outside sources," he said.
The company had fulfilled all the necessary requirements to start construction before the middle of next year, he added.
The project has the strong backing of the Saudi Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Saudi Aramco, and the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, Al-Muaiyyad said.
Saudi Aramco has allocated the necessary gas and fuel for the facility, while the Royal Commission has allocated a 510,000 square meters plot of land for the factory at Jubail-II Industrial City.
The commissioning production run is scheduled to start by end of 2014 and commercial operations will follow in the first quarter of 2015. Work is currently under process to secure all the other necessary utilities to run the project.
The industrial complex is viewed as an outstanding example of the progress being made in the development of Saudi Arabia's non-oil economy and diversification of the Kingdom's revenues.
