Casale awarded fertilizer plant PDP contract

Casale awarded fertilizer plant PDP contract

Casale has signed a process design package (PDP) contract with Daewoo Engineering & Construction Co for two new fertilizer plants. These are being commissioned by Turkmenhimiya, Turkmenistan’s state-owned chemical company, as part of a production complex in Turkmenaba, the country’s second-largest city.

The two new fertilizer plants will manufacture granular ammonium sulphate (AS) and single superphosphate (SSP), respectively. Once completed, the Turkmenaba complex will produce 350,000 t/a of granular SSP using CULTIVA-SPhos, Casale’s proprietary technology for granular SSP production; and 100,000 t/a of AS using CULTIVA-PIPEX, a flexible and proven Casale process technology which is also used for NPK production.

“This latest contract highlights once again the trust in Casale’s process know-how and technology portfolio and confirms the value of our Phosphate and Nitrogen fertilizers portfolio in supporting large-scale fertilizer projects with high agronomic and operational performance,” Casale said in a statement. “We thank Daewoo Engineering & Construction Co. for their confidence and look forward to building a strong and lasting partnership. This collaboration reflects Casale’s commitment to driving sustainable agricultural development and delivering innovative solutions tailored to local market needs.”

New phosphoric acid plant

Egypt’s Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Karim Badawi and New Valley Governor, Mohamed Al-Zamlout were present at the signing of a framework agreement between a consortium of Egyptian public companies to build a new phosphoric acid plant at Abu Tartour in the New Valley region. The project aims to maximise added value and increasing the economic return on Egyptian phosphate ore by using it in higher-yield industries rather than exporting it as a raw material. The Egyptian state-owned consortium includes Abu Qir Fertilizers; East Gas Company, Mineral Resources and Mining Industries Authority; Misr Phosphate, AT-PHOS, Petroleum Projects and Technical Consultations Company (PETROJET), and Engineering for the Petroleum and Process Industries (ENPPI), all of which are shareholders in the project. The contractor agreement was signed with a Chinese consortium of China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) and East China Engineering Science and Technology Co (ECEC).

Sonatrach awards Saipem phosphate project FEED contract

Saipem has won a front-end engineering design (FEED) contract from Sonatrach for an integrated phosphate fertilizer project in Algeria. The contract was awarded through a dual competitive process, enabling the design work to be conducted by both Saipem and a competitor company. Sonatrach will assess and compare the two FEED options from both parties, select the best technical and economic design, and then proceed with the direct award of an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to execute the project.
