DETAILS
- TechnipFMC has awarded Topsoe a contract
for license and engineering
of two 2,200 tons-per-day ammonia plants. - The plants will be based on
Topsoe’s world-leading ammonia technology
and are part of the Indian government’s revival plans
for the domestic fertilizer sector. - Three out of the four
current fertilizer plant revival projects in India
are based on Topsoe ammonia technology.
TechnipFMC has awarded Topsoe
a contract for license and basic engineering
for two gas-based ammonia plants
for Hindustan Urvarak and Rasayan Ltd. (HURL).
The two fertilizer complexes in Sindri and Barauni
will each comprise
2,200 MTPD ammonia and
3,850 MTPD urea plants
and will be realized by
TechnipFMC, France,
along with their consortium partners
L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering, India.
The two new plants are part of the Indian government’s
revival plans for the fertilizer sector
to ensure Indian self-sufficiency in urea fertilizers.
In 2015, Topsoe was awarded
the ammonia technology license, basic engineering,
technology, and catalysts
for an ammonia plant
for the Ramagundam Fertilizer Project.
This 2,200 MTPD ammonia plant
is also a revival project scheduled to begin operation
in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Worldwide, Topsoe is the leading licensor
with a market share of close to 50%
of all new ammonia capacity contracted since 1990.
Mr. Arun Kumar Gupta,
Managing Director, HURL
"We need the best available technologies
to fulfill our vision of growth, efficiency,
and national self-sufficiency.
Technip has offered Topsoe’s ammonia technology
which is considered one of the best technologies
in the market and therefore, we are looking forward
to a urea/ammonia plant which shall turn out
to be one of the most energy-efficient,
having reliable and safe operations,”
“The HURL projects at Sindri and Barauni not only show
the commitment and support of the Indian Government,
NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India),
the Department of Fertilizer
under the Indian Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers,
but also the three promoter companies,
all well-known
in the area of mega-project management.”
Executive Vice President and Deputy CEO, Topsoe
“We are extremely pleased to be able to continue
our long-standing support of the Indian Government’s efforts
towards self-sufficiency in urea production
and as a consequence: food security.
Our world-leading ammonia technology and catalysts
are the basis for three out of the four fertilizer plant
revival projects in India right now,”
