Saudi Aramco enlists ACWA and Air Products to construct Jazan industrial gas complex

The industrial gas complex will be designed and built by Air Products using its proprietary technology. Once built, this facility will be owned by a joint venture of Air Products (25 per cent) and ACWA Holding (75 per cent).

“We at Air Products are very excited about being awarded this very significant project,” said Seifi Ghasemi, chairman, president and chief executive officer at Air Products. “We consider it an honour and a privilege to use our proprietary technology to design and build the world’s largest industrial gas complex for an outstanding client and the largest company in the world, Saudi Aramco.

“We are very pleased that Saudi Aramco trusts Air Products and our partner ACWA Holding to economically and reliably supply the critical gases needed for its refinery in Jazan. This award also demonstrates the value of our outstanding relationship with our partner in ACWA Holding, who has worked so closely with us to develop this great project.”

“We are proud and thrilled to be selected as the partner of choice by Saudi Aramco to develop this world scale industrial gases project. This mammoth undertaking complements the portfolio of power, water, renewable energy, district cooling, integrated waste and resource recovery projects of ACWA Holding as the premier infrastructure developer in the region. The partnership with Air Products, the world leader in the field, is further testimony to ACWA Holding’s superior capability to develop large and critical infrastructure projects in Saudi Arabia and the region,” said Mohamed Abunayan, ACWA Holding chairman.
