The above mentioned ANIC plant is located in Ravenna (Italy) and was designed by SNAMPROGETTI S.p.A. that has also provided all the relevant engineering services. Snamprogetti is the engineering company inside the ENI group and is encharged for the design, construction and supply of any kind of engineering services connected with the construction of chemical plants.
