The Hungarian fertilizer manufacturer Nitrogénmüvek is extending its cooperation with ThyssenKrupp Industrial Solutions. A granulation plant with a capacity of 1,550 tons per day of ammonium nitrate (AN) or 1,960 tons per day of calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) is to start operation in Pétfürdö, roughly 100km south-west of Budapest, in fall 2016. ThyssenKrupp Industrial Solutions will handle engineering and procurement of the process plant. The customer will carry out installation on site.
Nitrogénmüvek is the only fertilizer producer in Hungary that manufactures its own ammonium. In Pétfüdö, the company operates – amongst others – an ammonium nitrate plant, with a second currently under construction. Both plants are equipped with Uhde vacuum neutralisation technology and will produce the feedstock for the new AN/CAN granulation plant. “This is the second new contract in twelve months aimed at expanding production capacities at the Pétfürdö site. We are pleased that Nitrogénmüvek is once again putting its faith in our expertise”, says Dr Hans Christoph Atzpodien, CEO of ThyssenKrupp Industrial Solutions.
