General

The purpose of the project is to construct and operate a phosphoric acid production plant with a capacity of 3600 MTPD. All production is to be exported to India through long-term purchasing contracts signed by the two Indian project partners in order to supply their fertilizer plants with phosphoric acid. The new plant will be established alongside an existing phosphoric acid plant in Skhira, 50 km north of the town of Gabès.

News July 3, 2008 - Technip, leader in a consortium with Pireco, has been awarded by Tunisian Indian Fertilizers (TIFERT) an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) lumpsum contract for a sulphuric acid unit to be built at the La Skhira industrial site in Tunisia.   The unit, which will be based on the Monsanto Enviro-Chem Systems (MECS) process, will have a production capacity of 3,600 tons per day. It is part of the TIFERT project that will use sulfuric acid and phosphate to produce phosphoric acid for use in fertilisers. The unit is expected to go into production at the beginning of 2010.  This contract will be executed by Technip’s operating centre in Paris. The award of this contract strengthens Technip’s presence in North Africa and demonstrates the group’s expertise in fertiliser production units.
