Arabian Petrochemical Company (Petrokemya) ), a wholly owned affiliate of Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), has awarded a lump-sum turnkey contract to the Korean company Samsung Engineering for the engineering, procurement and construction of a third Butene-1 plant. The facility will be constructed at Al-Jubail Industrial City on the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia, and is scheduled for completion by the first quarter of 2005. Plant capacity will be 130,000 mt per year of butene-1. The two existing butene-1 plants at Petrokemya already produce 100,000 mt per year. After the expansion, the affiliate will have a total butene-1 capacity of 230,000 mt per year.
