Incitec Fertilizers Pty Ltd has entered into a 20-year off-take agreement with Perdaman with a commitment to take up to 2.3 million tpy of granular urea fertilizer from Perdaman’s proposed urea plant at Karratha in Western Australia.
Scheduled for completion in 2023, the first concrete phase of the project will produce up to 625 t of renewable hydrogen and 3700 tpy of renewable ammonia.
The company expects to begin production in 2022.
The company’s Part IV Environmental submission has been approved by the Australian government, having been recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency with no appeals in January 2021.
The revamp project at the Ammonia-4 plant has successfully passed guarantee test runs to confirm the capacity of 2500 tpd of ammonia.
The scope of the revamp of Abu Qir 3 includes a capacity increase from the current production of 1940 tpd currently to 2370 tpd and a reduction in emissions from the melt plant absorbers.
The scope of the contract includes drilling, installation and development of brine and process water bores at the Lake Wells sulfate of potash project.
BHP has spent US$2.97 billion on the project in Saskatchewan, Canada, so far.

Building on the Feasibility Study, the company has completed a concept study to examine the potential to develop Khemisset using a four-phased approach to reduce upfront capital costs and execution risk, and plan additional expansion stages to ensure that its economic value is fully developed.
The design capacity of the unit will amount to 2200 tpd of urea once complete, which will increase production capacity by more than 70%.
The order, booked in March 2021, focuses on improving overall plant production through improved plant availability and throughput.
Arianne partnered with the Quebec Center of Geomatics (CGQ) to advance research and development on a new method for the design and future monitoring of the company’s tailings operations.
