The Sultanate’s first salt refinery is currently under construction at Ras Bantoot near Duqm on Oman’s Wusta coast.
Well-known oil and gas services Al Ghalbi International Engineering & Contracting LLC (GIE) is investing in excess of RO 10 million in the establishment of a 135,000 metric tonnes (MT) per annum capacity plant.
Conceived in line with the government’s In-Country Value (ICV) strategy, the project will go a long way in meeting the domestic demand for industrial salt which is currently sourced entirely via imports.
