Ethylene, produced from oil or natural gas, is a building-block chemical used in the production of carpets, apparel, plastics, fibers, tires and numerous other consumer products. Global demand for consumer products continues to rise, increasing demand for ethylene. As a result, Graham is realizing growth in demand for its equipment in both existing petrochemical plant upgrades, as well as in new ethylene production plants being developed, particularly in the Middle East and Asia.
Ammonia and Urea Fertilizer Facility The second contract was awarded to Graham by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, a Japanese engineering, procurement and construction contractor. This customer ordered two specialized, stainless steel ejector systems to be installed in the Sohar International Urea and Chemical Industries facility in the Sultanate of Oman, located in the Persian Gulf. One of the world's largest privately-funded plants of its type, the Sohar facility will be a global-scale ammonia and urea fertilizer complex capable of producing up to 1.225 million tons of urea a year. Graham is one of only three vendors world-wide approved by Snamprogetti S.p.A., an Italian engineering company and licensor of the urea production process for this facility. Shipment is planned for the quarter ending June 2006.
