Yara expands value-added production capacity in Sluiskil, Netherlands
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Oslo, 29 July 2015: Yara is investing USD 263 million in Sluiskil, Netherlands
to increase granulation capacity enabling increased production of granular urea
with sulphur, and nitrates.
In 2011, Yara completed the construction of a new world scale urea solution
plant in Sluiskil which partly feeds an old prilling unit producing 400,000 tons
of urea annually. With this investment, the prilling unit will be replaced by a
new urea granulator also designed for production of urea with sulphur, a product
that is sold with a premium to regular urea. The new granulator will have an
annual capacity of 660,000 tons of urea with sulphur. In parallel with
increasing urea production, Sluiskil will reduce UAN production by around
230,000 tons per annum, freeing up nitric acid capacity enabling 130,000 tons
per annum of additional CAN production.
"In Europe and gradually also in other regions of the world, agricultural soils
are lacking sulphur, which is an essential plant nutrient. With this investment
we are able to serve a growing demand, helping farmers improve both yield and
crop quality while contributing to improved nitrogen efficiency," says Torgeir
Kvidal, President and Chief Executive Officer of Yara International ASA.
The new plant will be based on technology developed by Yara. Construction will
start in 2015, with completion expected in second half 2017.
