Toyo Engineering Corp. (Tokyo) has been awarded a project to license its proprietary urea technology to Amufert S.A. (Amufert). The project involves the construction of one of the world’s major urea plants, with a daily production capacity of 4,000 tons, located in the Soyo region of Zaire Province.
This plant will be the first urea fertilizer production facility in Angola. The plant will contribute to achieving 100% domestic production of urea fertilizer, while also supporting regional exports to enhance food security. Additionally, the project is expected to add value to Angola’s natural gas resources, improve the trade balance through exports to neighbouring countries, create employment opportunities, and contribute to the diversification of Angola’s industrial sector.
TOYO’s scope in the project includes licensing, basic design, supply of proprietary equipment and technical services. TOYO will apply its proprietary ACES21 urea synthesis technology and urea granulation technology, enabling cost-effective plant construction and optimized operating conditions. The engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of the entire fertilizer complex, including ammonia production and auxiliary facilities (OSBL), will be handled by Wuhuan Engineering Co., Ltd. (Wuhuan).
