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.”

Mining licence approved for Ammaroo phosphate project

Austrlai’s Northern Territories Government has approved a mining licence for Verdant Minerals’ Ammaroo phosphate project. The approval follows the granting of two mineral leases in March and represents a critical step towards construction and mining operations at one of the world’s largest phosphate resources. Verdant estimates the value of production over the life of the mine to exceed $15 billion. Verdant says that securing the mining licence puts the project firmly on track to reach a final investment decision and commence construction as early as mid-2027. Located 200 kilometres south-east of Tennant Creek, the Ammaroo phosphate deposit contains more than one billion tonnes of phosphate ore.
