thyssenkrupp has received a new order from the state-owned Brunei Fertilizer Industries. The contract for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of a new fertilizer production facility was signed on August 26, 2017 and is expected to come into effect later this year. The new greenfield fertilizer complex will have a production capacity of 2,200 tons of ammonia and 3,900 tons of urea per day. It will be located in the Sungai Liang Industrial Park right next to Brunei’s well-established oil and gas industry.
After its planned completion in 2021, the plant will use parts of Brunei’s large natural gas reserves as feedstock to produce high-quality nitrogen fertilizer mainly for the export market. Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth and therefore a key agricultural input.
thyssenkrupp’s scope of supply for this fertilizer complex will include the engineering, supply of equipment, erection, supervision of construction and commissioning as well as various offsite and related utility systems.
