Phosphate Misr is expected to sign within days the final funding contracts with investors ahead of beginning construction on its USD 1 bn acid phosphate facility in Abu Tartour, according to Al Mal. The facility will be constructed with a Chinese alliance consisting of the Chinese Construction Engineering Company and Wengfu Group, which was awarded the contract last year. Construction is expected to last 30 months, followed by an additional six months of trial operations.
