Manufacturing in Oman
Potassium chloride and blended chemicals
The Group produces high quality potassium chloride in Oman, which can be used either in oil-drilling muds or as fertilizer in agriculture. Annual capacity is 60,000 t of potassium chloride, one of the leading potassium products productions in GCC.
Apart from KCl, the plant produces different blended chemicals consumed by the oil-drilling and oil-refining industries and provides logistics facilities for the whole Group: warehouses, bagging operations and discharging of bulk chemicals from containers by tilters. Production keeps high HSE standards. KCl specification is on the Upstream page.
