Morimatsu has successfully completed the shipment of heavy processing columns from its Nantong plant in China to the Amiral Project in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, marking the first time that Saudi Aramco has accepted large-scale towers manufactured in China.
The delivery, totaling 8,000 tons, included a landmark unit: a 120-meter-long, 2,200-ton propane–propylene fractionator, equipped with 153 trays installed to extremely tight tolerances. According to Morimatsu, the fabrication process not only met but exceeded the quality standards required by project partners Aramco, TotalEnergies, and Hyundai Engineering Co. Ltd.
At the delivery ceremony, the Amiral Project Deputy Manager of Saudi Aramco praised Morimatsu’s performance, noting: “Your commitment to quality, attention to detail, and proactive communication exceeded expectations.”
The Amiral Project represents a key expansion of Saudi Arabia’s petrochemical sector. By supplying the critical column infrastructure, Morimatsu highlights both its engineering capabilities and its role in advancing Saudi Arabia’s industrial transformation agenda.
“This milestone demonstrates our ability to deliver high-end, customized equipment solutions for global petrochemical projects while supporting sustainable and high-quality industrial development,” Morimatsu stated.
