Stockholm – Atlas Copco has received two orders totaling $50m, related to the Ma’aden aluminum project in Saudi Arabia. Atlas Copco will supply 20 turbo compressors for a power generation application in a new plant outside of Jubail.
The customer is a consortium of the Al-Arrab contracting company and Sepco III Electric Construction Corp. of China.
The combined 2,400MW power and desalination plant will provide power, steam and water for the aluminum smelter being constructed by the Ma’aden Saudi Arabian Mining Co.
Earlier this year Atlas Copco won a turnkey contract to supply the complete compressed air system for the Ma’aden aluminum smelter and will deliver five of its largest oil-free air compressors as well as two smaller compressors and dryers.
The power generation order was booked in the second quarter and is worth about $40m. The machines are scheduled to be delivered in the first half of 2012. The order for the aluminum smelter was received already in the first quarter.
The Ma’aden aluminum plant will have a capacity of 740ktpa of aluminum and 1,800ktpa of alumina. The site will feature an alumina refinery, aluminum smelter and roll mill.
