Project Description
Omnia’s nitrophosphate plant will improve the company’s overall competitiveness in the production of fertilisers.
The new plant incorporates a process solution developed in-house, which will have the capacity to produce 500 t/d as measured in dry phosphate production. The project’s design specifically caters for future bolt-on expansions, with space created for the addition of a further train increasing the plant’s capacity to 1 000 t/d. Besides producing nitrophos, used to produce granular fertiliser, the plant will also produce nitrophos liquid and calcium nitrate, which is used to make a speciality fertiliser and explosives.
The facility will have lower emissions and will not produce large quantities of gypsum waste.
Phosphate rock will be sourced from various regions or international sources. Omnia is also building tank infrastructure to facilitate the importation of phosphoric acid.
