Ferkenso has signed financing agreements with Gazprombank for the construction of a plant to produce complex mineral fertilizers based on ammonia in Yangiyer, Syrdarya region of Uzbekistan, and a chemical complex to produce complex fertilizers in the Samarkand region of Uzbekistan.

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.

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 design capacity of the unit will amount to 2200 tpd of urea once complete, which will increase production capacity by more than 70%.

Togliattiazot increased supplies of urea to the Russian domestic market to 35 000 t in February this year.

The two plants have earned 2020 ENERGY STAR® certification from the US Environmental Protection Agency.

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.
