LIQUIDATION

50.000 tpa STPP (Sodium Tripolyphosphate) plant

incl.

37.000 tpa Phosphoric Acid concentration & purification plant

Built 1990 – unused - never erected

To be sold in bits & pieces

Ex warehouse Antwerp (Belgium)

The plant was originally ordered by ARADET (Arab Company for Detergent Chemicals), an Iraqi company with main office at Baghdad, and production facilities for detergent raw materials at Baiji. Contractor was a consortium by Spie Batignolles (France) and Abay Engineering (Belgium), the chosen process for the Phosphoric Acid part was that of Prayon, and for the STPP part that of UCB. The contract was embargoed by the 1990 Gulf Crisis, and the majority of the equipment was put on shedded storage by the Consortium at Antwerp. Despite the lifting of the embargo in 2003 it was not possible for ARADET to continue with the project because of missing feedstock basis. An initiative started in 2008 to sell the complete plant to potential investors proved unsuccessful due to weak global STPP markets in combination with the financial crisis. So finally the decision has been taken to liquidate the equipment by selling functional groups or even single items.

The equipment includes all items of a turn-key plant - chemical process equipment like reactors, atomizers, calcinizers, granulators, mixers, filters etc., but also general purpose units like silo/hopper farm, packaging machinery, waste water treatment installation, chimney, heating and cooling equipment etc. And of course numerous items of tanks, pipes, pumps, valves, fittings etc., and extensive electrical equipment like transformers, capacitors, switchboards, and cable.

Under History more technical and commercial details about the plant are available.

This website will list over an estimated period of 6 months (August 2009 to January 2010) all lots, groups, and pieces which are for sale, including available documentation like specifications, drawings, data sheet, lists, and all other paperwork which may help to describe the items in the best possible manner. The sales list is continuously expanded, so interested parties are invited to visit it regularly. Alternatively it is possible to subscribe to our mailing list, either for all new positions, or only for specific equipment groups or items.
