AquaChemie proudly presents a state-of-the-art Petrochemical terminal at the strategically located Jebel Ali Port in the UAE. The state-of-the art terminal is envisioned as a strategic hub to facilitate petrochemical trade across the region. It is designed with utmost priority towards safety and convenience.
It covers a plot Area of 20,000 Sqm and is connected to Berth #4 with five 6″ SS Jetty Pipeline. The tanks are 36,000 CBM, API-650 Nitrogen blanketed with over thirty tanks in deployment. It has a storage capacity of over 6300 drums and ISO tanks with three truck loading bays and 5 Drumming lines.
The terminal will serve as a hub to boost Petrochemical trade in the region and outside. It conforms to stringent Safety and Environment accreditation norms laid down by the Chemical Distribution Institute (CDI-T) that surpasses many global standards.
Proposed Business Areas
Global Bulk Chemical Distribution
Because of its strategic location, this plant acts as a significant chemical hub for the region, importing and exporting numerous chemicals.
Market Products of Regional Manufacturers
The facility has 5 drumming lines and 3 truck loading bays to import in bulk and repack in smaller units for local distribution or export globally in containers.
Process By-product streams/Blend Chemicals
Manufacturing operations produces several byproduct streams that is valuable in a processing plant. Other chemicals produced are corrosion inhibitors, demulsifiers, biocides and so on.
Tank Leasing
Storage tanks in different packaging are available for short- and long-term lease for export and import with distribution of liquid chemicals. Domestic distributions are managed with road-tankers, ISOs, Flexitanks, IBCs and drumming.
