world’s largest ammonia production complex, marking a major milestone in global industrial and chemical manufacturing. The massive complex plays a critical role in the production of fertilizers and industrial chemicals, supporting global food security and large-scale agricultural systems.
Operated by Saudi Arabia’s leading industrial and mining companies, the ammonia complex features multiple high-capacity production units capable of producing millions of tonnes of ammonia annually. Built with advanced process engineering and state-of-the-art safety systems, the facility uses natural gas as a feedstock and incorporates energy-efficient technologies to optimize output while reducing environmental impact.
The complex forms a vital part of Saudi Arabia’s integrated industrial ecosystem, supplying ammonia for downstream products such as urea, phosphate fertilizers, and other essential chemicals. Its strategic location near the Arabian Gulf allows efficient export to international markets, strengthening the Kingdom’s position as a global leader in chemical and fertilizer production.
Industry experts describe the Ras Al Khair ammonia complex as a landmark achievement in chemical engineering and industrial scale. “This facility represents the pinnacle of ammonia production technology,” said an industry analyst. “Its scale, efficiency, and integration set a benchmark for similar projects worldwide.”
