The principal industrial facilities are located at Ar
Ruways,
224 kilometers from the capital. The Ruways Fertilizer
Industries
plant came on-line in 1983 and uses natural gas as fuel
and
feedstock. ADNOC owns two-thirds of the plant, and TotalCompagnie Française des Pétroles owns the remainder. The
plant
was built with a capacity to produce 100 tons per day of
ammonia
and 1,500 tons per day of urea. Its customers have been
mainly
India and China. Sulfur extracted through oil and gas
processing
is exported from a special bulk terminal. A smaller
industrial
area exists at Al Musallah, just outside the city of Abu
Dhabi.
