ABB's Dammam Facility Marks Three-Year Milestone of Empowering Saudi Arabia's Energy Sector

Celebrating Three Years of Local Innovation in Saudi Arabia

For ABB in Dammam this year, it is a milestone three years since the company's 10,000-square-meter analytical systems integration facility initially rolled out its gates.
Over the past 36 months, the facility has pioneered localizing production.
It has successfully completed a chain of high-end gas analyzer integration systems, which are central to flagship projects for processing facilities, natural gas liquid plants, and mixed-feed crackers.

Tailor-Made Solutions for Industrial Dominance

The Dammam plant is a hub for tailor-made solutions.
It is a specialist in delivering completely integrated analyzer systems that provide accurate measurement of constituents in process gas and liquids.
Firms are therefore capable of having real-time monitoring of production streams and emissions.
Last but not least, these integrated systems are essential for the guarantee of the safety, reliability, and efficiency of production processes.
As ABB's Analyzer System Integration Manager for Middle East and Africa, Ahmed Awadalla, explained, "Our customers across the Kingdom are keen to embrace the latest technologies to improve efficiency and within three years, we have supported major energy projects with locally produced systems."
This highlights an uncompromised commitment to technological advancement and local manufacture.

Supporting Major Energy Projects across the Kingdom

ABB's impact can be seen in several high-value projects already.
For instance, its equipment has been an integral component of the construction of a mixed-feed cracker unit that will produce ethylene, which is a core raw material for the petrochemicals sector.
The turnkey analyzer system provides precise control of operation and overall performance enhancement.
Furthermore, ABB has implemented a robust process analyzer system to an unconventional gas field project that possessed unique and demanding specifications.
The system allows for continuous monitoring of gas composition and quality that is paramount to maintaining maximum performance and efficiency.

A Legacy of Global and Local Expertise

Ever since over 40 years ago, ABB has been the global leader in supplying customized industrial process and gas analyzer systems to the world's largest oil and gas projects.
The Dammam center is one of an illustrious group of integration centers supplemented by offices in Houston, Bengaluru, and Shanghai.
This global expertise, complemented by local reach, allows ABB to facilitate Saudi Arabia's vision of promoting industrial capacity and maximizing hydrocarbon processing through locally-manufactured systems.
Moreover, the Dammam plant also features a production line for pressure and temperature transmitters, further augmenting its contribution to the industrial landscape of the Kingdom.
