thyssenkrupp to build $2bn Indiana nitrogen plant

摘要

Midwest Fertilizer Company (MFC) has awarded the $2 billion contract to build its state-of-the-art nitrogen fertilizer complex at Posey County, Indiana, to thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions. MFC announced the award of the engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) contract to thyssenkrupp at a ceremony in New York on 25 January. The project, which is backed by Pakistan's Fatima Fertilizer Company, hopes to reach financial close later this year and start construction immediately after. The world-scale complex will produce ammonia, urea, urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) and diesel exhaust fluid, once completed, and is scheduled to enter production in 2020. It will target fertilizer production at domestic US farmers in the Eastern Corn Belt.
