MOSCOW (MRC) -- Rolta India has announced that it has been awarded a multimillion USD contract from Sadara Chemical Company (Sadara) to implement a comprehensive engineering system at its complex which will be the world’s largest petrochemical facility ever built in a single phase, reported Rolta India on its site.
Value of the contract has not been disclosed. Rolta was selected for this challenging project based upon its unique combination of world class capabilities in Engineering and IT. The project will be managed by a global Rolta team working out of the United States, India and Saudi Arabia, and will be completed by late 2014.
Sadara represents a unique alliance between the Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco), one of the leading
energy suppliers to the world, and The Dow Chemical Company (Dow), a leading science and technology
company of the world, with a total investment of about USD20 billion.
Rolta will provide an extensive suite of engineering solutions which will support process engineering,
technical support, process automation and control, asset integrity, analytical lab and standards, and
document management.
"A successful implementation of the engineering system is vital to the support and efficient operation of the
Sadara Complex," said Taher Nemer, Project Manager Manufacturing & Engineering Systems, Sadara
Project.
As MRC informed previously, in March 2013, petrochemical company Sadara contracted Intertec to protect around 1,000 field-based process analysers at its new complex in Saudi Arabia. Besides, last year Sadara awarded Tecnicas Reunidas (TR) the Chem-III project, contract for part of the chemical complex being built in Jubail Industrial City II, Saudi Arabia. The project includes the ethylene oxide, propylene glycol, polyols, ethanol amines, ethylene amines, butyl glycol ether plants and the auxiliary and control facilities necessary for their operation.
Rolta is a leading provider of innovative IT solutions for many vertical segments, including Federal and State Governments, Defense/HLS, Utilities, Process, Power, Financial Services, Manufacturing, Retail, and Healthcare. By uniquely combining its expertise in the IT, Engineering and Geospatial domains, Rolta develops exceptional solutions
for these segments.
The Sadara complex, which will have 26 manufacturing facilities, is claimed to be the world's largest petrochemical facility ever built in a single phase and will manufacture more than three million tonnes of chemical and plastics products. The complex is expected to serve the emerging markets of Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa. The joint venture between Saudi Aramco and The Dow Chemical Company Sadara Chemical Company will build, own and operate an integrated chemicals complex in Jubail Industrial City II, Saudi Arabia. It will produce ethylene, propylene, polyethylene, low density polyethylene, elastomers, amines, propylene glycol, polyether polyols and isocyanates.
