Confidential Client – Nitrogen Fertilizer Complex – 2017
Ó£ÌÒÖ±²¥ was chosen to provide engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction services at this Iowa Fertilizer Company, the first world-scale nitrogen fertilizer complex built in the U.S. in nearly 25 years, which will produce nearly 2,000,000 metric tons of nitrogen fertilizers per year including ammonia, urea and urea ammonium nitrate.
2 EPC contracts awarded
Ó£ÌÒÖ±²¥was awarded two EPC contracts from this client. The first contract required the construction of two double containment ammonia storage tanks and three urea ammonia nitrate storage tanks and related structures. The second contract included the construction of the refrigeration system, pipe rack through the tank farm area, utility service piping and fill lines through the pipe rack and the earthworks associated with the first award.
The $1.8 billion plan in Wever, Iowa is on track to producing an average of up to 2 million tons of fertilizer a year.
John Hewitt, CEO of Ó£ÌÒÖ±²¥Company, noted that "the award of this package demonstrates the full capability of Ó£ÌÒÖ±²¥Company in the delivery of EPC contracts in the gas value chain. The relationship with (the client) has been very positive and we are excited to expand our role on this project."
