Saudi Sipchem starts butanediol commercial sales from Al-Jubail
Saudi International Petrochemical Co (Sipchem) has started commercial sales of butanediol from its 75,000 mt/yr plant in al-Jubail, Saudi Arabia, the company said in a press release Monday. The plant is being operated by Gulf Advanced Chemical Co Ltd (GACIC), a majority-owned subsidiary of Sipchem. Sipchem said the plant was the first butanediol facility in the Middle East.
GACIC started producing butanediol in October, using Sipchem's maleic anhydride output, and methanol from Sipchem affiliate International Methanol Co, which has a 1-mil mt/yr plant in Al-Jubail. Sipchem produces maleic anhydride from butane which it buys from Saudi Aramco.

SABIC (AR-RAZI 5) PROJECT AWARDED TO MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES
http://www.sabic.com/sabic-www/press_details.asp?id=170SABIC affiliate, The Saudi Methanol Company (AR-RAZI) in Jubail Industrial City, has awarded the ‘AR-RAZI 5’ project contract, which includes engineering and construction, to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The project is expected to go on-stream in 1Q 2008 with a methanol production capacity of 1.7 million MTY.
SABIC Vice Chairman and CEO, Mohamed Al-Mady said, “The ‘AR-RAZI 5’ project is a worldwide mega project in terms of its large capacity and use of world-class technology. A single production line will achieve high production capacity using oxygen as a burning medium, which in turn significantly cuts down the overall project costs of construction and subsequent operation.
“This project will strengthen SABIC’s competitive capability in the global methanol market.”
SABIC is currently the world’s second largest producer of methanol. The project will also strengthen AR-RAZI’s position as the largest single complex for the production of methanol worldwide. The existing capacity is 3 million MTY. This will be expanded to 5 million MTY following completion of the project.
AR-RAZI, established in 1979, is 50:50 owned by SABIC and a Japanese consortium led by Mitsubishi. AR-RAZI started its initial production in 1983, leading to the first shipment of methanol from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Saudi's Tasnee to form jvs for methanol and derivatives
Saudi Arabia's National Petrochemical Industrialisation Co
(Tasnee Petrochemicals) plans to pursue its methanol, acetic acid
and vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) projects as joint ventures with
local or foreign companies, according to a company source.
It was earlier reported that the privately-owned Saudi company
planned to build an integrated complex for producing 1.8m tonne/year of
methanol and 700 000 tonne/year of combined acetic acid and VAM in Al-Jubail, Saudi Arabia. Methane
feedstock has been secured.
The source said Tasnee might be partnering different companies
for each planned unit. Tasnee has yet to appoint the licensors
for the three units.
The source said surplus methanol would at first be sold, with the
possibility of another derivative unit being built at later
stage.
Tasnee is also planning to build a cracker in Al-Jubail, fed by
ethane and propane, which would produce 1m tonne/year of ethyene
and 200 000 tonne/year of propylene. The propylene could be used to expand Saudi Polyolefins Co's (SPC's) 450 000 tonne/year polypropylene
(PP) plant, which is due onstream this quarter. SPC is a Tasnee
subsidiary.

IMC to start up mega methanol plant in November
Saudi Arabia's International Methanol Co
Ltd plans
to start up its new 1-mil mt/yr methanol plant at Al-Jubail by the end
of November, a source close to the company said Friday. The
start-up would be two months ahead of schedule.
IMC planned to have the first commercial shipments ready in early
December, the source added. IMC is a joint venture between the Saudi
International Petrochemical Co and Japan-Arabia Methanol Co. JAMC is 55% owned by the
Japanese trading house Mitsui & Co, with the remainder held
by Mitsubishi Corp (15%), Daicel Chemical Industries Ltd (15%),
and shipping company Iino Kaiun Kaisha ltd (15%).
Mitsui plans
to take off around 80% of the output from the plant, and targets to sell most
of it to contract customers in Asia.
