“The project aimed at an expansion of finished product market outlets, i.e. the construction of a urea packaging unit at Urea-4 shop was executed in the second quarter of 2021,” says Logis.
The construction of a biological wastewater treatment plant and a plant for dehydration of excessive activated sludge with underground utilities, and some other projects are at the pre-investment stage, he says.
“The goal is to extend the service life of the available facilities, reduce energy consumption and increasing nitrogen fertilizer output,” Logis says.
We are also working on a reconstruction of the urea-ammonium nitrate mixture production line and on production of ammonium nitrate.
