The KIMA Project is an expansion of the Egyptian Chemical Industries (KIMA) industrial complex in Aswan, Egypt. The project aims to increase the production of nitrogen-based fertilizers for domestic and international markets while improving the plant’s energy efficiency through the use of natural gas as feedstock.

The upcoming propane dehydrogenation (PDH) plant is set to be a major player, aiming for a production capacity of 750,000 metric tonnes per year, positioning it among the world’s largest and most efficient facilities. It is situated at an existing Borealis production site in Kallo, Belgium, chosen for its strategic logistical location and extensive experience in propylene production. Additionally, the selection aims to capitalize on synergies with the existing PDH unit. Utilizing Honeywell UOP’s Oleflex™ technology, known for its reliability and sustainability in propylene production, underscores the plant’s commitment to efficient and eco-friendly operations.
