Grupa Azoty launches new sulphur-enriched fertilizer

Grupa Azoty has started production of POLIFOSKA Multi S, a new sulphur-enriched multi-nutrient fertilizer, at its Police complex in Poland. The new product contains 23% sulphur.

This latest product launch is the latest addition to the company’s expanding fertilizer product portfolio, alongside the likes of:

• megAN – a high-granule ammonium nitrate fertilizer

• RSM OPTIMA – a nitrate-urea solution with a distinctive light blue colour for ease of identification

• eNpluS – an ammonium fertilizer enriched with sulphur and calcium.

These four products have all commenced production in recent months.

“Expanding our product range this time with a multi-component fertilizer, we have formulated POLIFOSKA Multi S to be highly efficient. Its balanced nutrient composition not only promotes proper plant growth and development but also enhances crop yield quality—with notable economic benefits,” said Hubert Kamola, Grupa Azoty’s VP, adding: “I am convinced that we are introducing a fertilizer that will soon become one of the flagship products in Grupa Azoty Police’s range.”

POLIFOSKA Multi S is water-soluble and contains the following plant-available nutrients: 7% nitrogen in ammonium form, 10% phosphorus, 20% potassium, 5% calcium, 1% magnesium and 23% sulphur in sulphate form.

The product is also enriched with silicon.

SRU commissioned at Petrobrazi refinery

Romanian oil and gas group OMV Petrom has commissioned a new sulphur recovery unit at its Petrobrazi refinery, near the southern city of Ploiesti. Development work on the new SRU began in 2023, and represents the second at the site, treating acid gas produced during the refining process. The euro 45 million investment is part of euro 2 billion of improvements that have been made over the past 20 years as part of the company’s strategy to modernise its refining capabilities, aiming to reduce environmental impact. Last year, the company said it would invest around euro 750 million to build several sustainable fuel plants at the refinery, which are expected to become operational in 2028.

DOMO files for insolvency

Three German subsidiaries of the Belgian chemical group DOMO Chemicals have filed for insolvency, following weak demand in the European chemicals sector, high energy costs and a significant increase in imports of polyamide resins from outside the European Union, in particular from China. Court appointed administrator Prof. Lucas F. Flöther said that day-to-day operations would continue for the time being. Around 585 employees are affected across the three companies; DOMO Chemicals GmbH and DOMO Caproleuna GmbH in Leuna and DOMO Engineering Plastics GmbH in Premnitz.
