An amount of one million Jordanian Dinars has been allocated for this project and it is expected to be completed in the forthcoming three years.
- Construction of a New Double Wall and Double Integrity Ammonia Tank. The capacity of this tank is 30 thousand tons. The design of the tank and its execution works are expected to take 24 months. The cost is estimated at USD 35 million and the “Water Dome” of the current ammonia tanks is being designed at present in compliance with the top standards of safety and response to emergencies.
