Inorganic Industrial Complex
Inorganic Industrial Complex
Building the Backbone of Oman’s Industrial Future
Novel Muscat International LLC is developing an integrated Inorganic Industrial Complex focused on the production of essential industrial materials that support Oman’s downstream manufacturing sector and economic diversification agenda.
The complex is planned to produce high-value inorganic materials, including soda ash, precipitated silica, calcined lime, dolime, and related mineral-based products. These materials serve as critical inputs for industries such as glass manufacturing, detergents, chemicals, cement, water treatment, construction, and tyre manufacturing.
Key Production Focus
Soda Ash
The planned soda ash facility has an estimated production capacity of 500,000 MT per year. The project benefits from access to key raw materials and infrastructure, including salt and brine resources, limestone, steam, natural gas, and jetty access for bulk handling and export logistics.
Precipitated Silica
The complex includes plans for precipitated silica production with an estimated capacity of 100,000 MT per year. Precipitated silica is widely used in tyres, rubber products, detergents, oral care, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and specialty industrial applications.
Calcined Lime and Dolime
Planned future production of calcined lime and dolime will support applications in steel, cement, glass, environmental treatment, and chemical manufacturing.
Clinker Production Plant
Novel Muscat International LLC is planning a 1 million metric tonne per annum clinker production facility in Duqm. Strategically located with port access, the plant will support cement manufacturing, regional exports, and Oman’s growing infrastructure and industrial development.
Industrial Value Chain
The complex is designed around the availability of local mineral resources, including limestone, silica, seawater, and brine. By integrating these resources with process infrastructure, utilities, and logistics, Novel Muscat International LLC aims to create a competitive industrial platform within Oman that reduces dependency on imported industrial chemicals, strengthens local value addition, and creates opportunities for downstream manufacturing.
Future Industrial Projects
As part of its long-term industrial roadmap, Novel Muscat International LLC is evaluating future projects in the following areas:
Each project is aligned with market demand, access to local raw materials, and our strategy to attract industrial partners, investors, and joint venture opportunities.
- Glass manufacturing
- Quicklime and dolime production
- Clinker production for the cement industry
- Brine-based chemical products
- Downstream silica and silicate products
