Ta’ziz secures offtake for EDC and VCM: Abu Dhabi based Ta’ziz signed two term sheets with India’s Sanmar Group for long-term product sales covering more than 350k tonnes a year of ethylene dichloride (EDC) and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), according to a statement. The feedstocks will be produced at the Ta’ziz industrial ecosystem in Ruwais Industrial City and supplied under agreements running for up to 10-years, giving Sanmar secure offtake for core inputs used in polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

ICYMI- Ta’ziz — a JV between ADQ and Adnoc — just awarded a AED 7.3 bn (c.USD 2 bn) EPC contract to China National Chemical Engineering & Construction Corporation Seven to build the UAE’s first PVC plant in Ta’ziz industrial ecosystem in Ruwais. The facility will produce 1.9 mn tonnes annually of PVC, ethylene dichloride (EDC), vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), and caustic soda.

Industrial ecosystem? Ta’ziz inked off some USD 6.7 bn in EPC contracts awarded for ammonia and methanol plants within Phase 1 of the company’s industrial ecosystem in Ruwais — which is expected to contribute some AED 183 bn to the economy — targeting 4.7 mn tonnes annually of capacity across chemicals and transition-fuel products. T’aziz has also already awarded three USD 2 bn contracts for infrastructure development at its chemicals and transition fuels site in Al Ruwais Industrial City.
