The NCSP has now become the largest producer of sulfuric acid in the Middle East. Rawabi Marketing International, an affiliate of the company, has received more bookings from clients of sulfuric acid as a result of growing demand for the product at the national and regional levels, the company said. The NCSP began operation of its new production line after the success of an experimental operation last February. With the increased capacity, NCSP will be able to supply an additional 130,000 tons of sulfuric acid to meet market requirements. NCSP’s products include sulfuric acid, sulphonic acid, sodium laurel ether sulfate, potassium sulfate, sodium sulfate, hydrochloric acid and metal surface treatment chemical. “All these chemicals are used by many industries in the Kingdom including those of Saudi Basic Industries Corp. and Saudi Aramco as well as paper, dairy, detergents factories and drinking water and sewage water treatment plants,” the company said. Market analysts said the new production line would make NCSP the largest supplier of sulfuric acid in the Middle East and North Africa.
