The first stage of the investment project for the development of PhosAgro's Volkhov site in the Leningrad region of Russia has been completed with the launch of a new monoammonium phosphate (MAP) production facility (with a capacity of 231 000 tpy) and the production of the first pilot batch of MAP. The RUB28 billion investment project was launched in March 2019 and is due to be completed by 2023. In the first stage, the MAP production line was put into trial operation. This consists of three facilities: liquid ammonia storage with a capacity of 490 t, a MAP production line with a nameplate capacity of 231 000 tpy and a finished product warehouse with a capacity of 15 000 t. At the second stage of the investment project, mineral fertilizer production site No. 2 will be upgraded and pivoted to MAP production, which, together with other upgrades, will enable PhosAgro to increase total fertilizer production capacity at the site to 774 000 tpy.
