Jordan Phosphate Mines Co. (JPMC), Amman, is preparing to float a tender for installing ammonia tanks in the company’s industrial complex in Aqaba, to provide “the highest safety measures in accordance with international standards,” according to Jordan’s Petra news agency, citing the company.
The $40 million project will be implemented over the course of two years. JPMC is additionally examining the possibility of converting the existing ammonia tanks into phosphoric acid tanks to enable the company to increase the storage of phosphoric acid to meet the expansion of production in order to increase foreign sales of the acid.
