The Jordan Phosphate Mines Company (JPMC) has completed the rehabilitation of phosphoric acid tanks in the company's industrial complex in Aqaba.

The rehabilitation works aimed to ensure that the company's facilities conform to the American Petroleum Institute (API) standard No. 653 (API 653), which covers the inspection, repair, alteration, and reconstruction of steel aboveground storage tanks used in the petroleum and chemical industries.

A study for a project to increase the JMPC's phosphoric acid plant's production capacity from 900 to 1,500 tons per day, allowing it to export the acid and use it to produce DAP fertilizer, is about to be completed, according to JPMC Chairman Muhammad Thneibat, who visited the complex on Monday.
