We agree the scope with the client and support delivery from front-end design through to commissioning and start-up. Our projects include chemical, water treatment and carbon capture plants.
About ENGSL
ENGSL Minerals DMCC is a Dubai company registered with the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC). We provide engineering support, equipment procurement and the supply of minerals and construction materials, and we have developed a carbon capture process that produces soda ash.
Company overview
We work with industrial and energy companies, project procurement teams and buyers of construction materials. Our office is in Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Dubai. Our markets are the UAE, Norway, Kuwait, Morocco, Libya and Yemen.
We provide engineering and project support from design to commissioning, source equipment and spare parts to specification, and supply minerals and construction materials in bulk. We have run supply programmes since 2012. Our main focus today is the supply of limestone, gypsum, cement clinker and aggregates.
Our project experience includes a carbon capture system and a caustic soda plant in Norway, a seawater reverse osmosis plant in Morocco, and a carbon capture pilot and a soda ash plant in the UAE.
The company is led by its founder and Managing Director, Olfi Mohammed, whose career includes 27 years of senior operations experience with ADNOC and international EPC project management through Costain UK.

How we work
Procurement and supply
We source equipment, spare parts and bulk materials to the buyer's specification. We arrange inspection before shipment, with an independent surveyor at the load port for bulk cargoes, and handle documentation, freight and delivery.
Technology
Our process captures CO₂ from industrial flue gas and converts it into soda ash, using sodium hydroxide made from salt brine. We discuss technology licensing, joint ventures and soda ash plant development with interested companies.

| 2015 | Pöyry press release, 29 January 2015. Pöyry (now AFRY) announced that EnPro AS had awarded it basic engineering services for a planned soda ash plant at Kollsnes, Norway. The plant was to use EnPro's technology, developed in cooperation with ENGSL Minerals DMCC, to convert industrial CO₂ emissions into soda ash and sodium bicarbonate. | GlobeNewswire |
| 2016 | Masdar Institute techno-economic study. A news release of 31 May 2016 reports an analysis of ENGSL's sodium hydroxide-based carbon capture and utilisation technology by a team led by Dr Mohammad Abu Zahra. Its results are modelled estimates for a 560 MW gas-fired power plant in the UAE, not measured plant performance. The Masdar Institute is now part of Khalifa University. | Khalifa University |
