AMMAN — The
Jordan Phosphate Mines Company (JPMC) is set to start preparing the necessary
documents to float a tender for building ammonia tanks to enhance safety in the
company’s industrial complex in Aqaba and provide the highest public safety
requirements in this field as per international standards, the Jordan News
Agency, Petra, reported.
At a board meeting held Monday, JPMC Chairman
Mohammad Thneibat said the project, the cost of which is estimated at about $40
million, will be implemented within two years.
He called for
holding meetings with local technicians and specialists, and bringing an expert
in the field from abroad to prepare the required technical specifications for
this type of tanks and examine the possibility of converting the current
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, as decided by the board of directors.
Thneibat underlined the importance of the project,
which is part of the board of directors’ efforts to develop and modernize work
sites, and meet the highest public safety requirements, especially in the
industrial complex.
Thneibat also asked the JPMC CEO to expedite the
establishment of the advanced ambulance center, approved earlier by the JPMC’s
board of directors to be created in the industrial complex at the company’s
expense, and equip it with all necessary supplies through the company’s Medical
Services Directorate, in coordination with the Royal Medical Services, to serve
the southern industrial zone in Aqaba.
JPMC CEO Abdulwahab Rawad stressed the importance of the new
project in the industrial complex in Aqaba, noting that the new projects will
contribute to enhancing public safety procedures at its facilities, maintaining
workers’ safety and ensuring that operations are running smoothly.
