General The Suez Complex: Put on stream in 1964, the Suez complex is operated by the Societe El Nasr d'Engrais et d'Industries Chimiques (Semadco). It gets its methane gas feedstocks from the Ras Shukheir gathering system and from local oil refineries.  The complex has a capacity of about 300,000 t/y of sulphuric acid, and 450,000 t/y of nitric acid. The old ammonia unit was replaced and the complex was upgraded in recent years. As a result, the complex now has a capacity of 300,000 t/y of sulphuric acid, 450,000 t/y of nitric acid, 365,000 t/y of ammonium nitrate, and 146,000 t/y of ammonia. (The old ammonium nitrate unit was moved to the Talkha complex following attacks during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war).
