Fertilizer project news

The plant was revamped to enhance the ammonia production capacity from its original 1360 tpd to 2100 tpd and reduce energy consumption.

The availability of green hydrogen and renewable power is expected to drive further sustainable industrialisation of the port, including production of fertilizers, green steel, chemicals, fuels, and other sustainably manufactured industrial products.

Bauer International FZE constructed approximately 112 000 m2 of cut-off wall over a length of 4.2 km on a dyke surrounding an earth basin used by the Arab Potash Company for carnallite production.

The company has opened a new monoammonium phosphate (MAP) production facility, with a capacity of 231 000 tpy, at its Volkhov site in the Leningrad region of Russia.

Western Resources's Chairman, Bill Xue, has said the company's primary focus is to raise the financing required to complete the remaining 15% of the Milestone potash project in Saskatchewan, Canada.

The facility will support OCP Group’s expansion plans across Africa.

The complex for the production of ammonia, with a capacity of 525 000 tpy, and urea, with a capacity of 700 000 tpy, is to be located at the site of JSC Shchekinoazot, in the Tula region of Russia.

The investment will be used to increase urea production and enhance the reliability of existing production units as well as improve rail infrastructure and ammonia truck loading facilities.

The drilling programme has confirmed the presence of an extensive palaeovalley system up to 5 km wide and 100 m deep, with evidence of multiple aquifers at varying depths.

Sequoia and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia will invest US$39 million and US$25 million respectively into the facility, complimenting existing investments led and arranged by Taurus Mining Finance Fund No. 2 L.P (Taurus) and the Australian Government’s Clean Energy Finance Corp. (CEFC).
