| 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. |
