Süd-Chemie will provide fertilizer catalysts to Yara for five years
Süd-Chemie AG and Yara International ASA have concluded a major 5-year framework agreement on catalysts for fertilizer production. This long-term supply agreement will cover more than 50% of the requirements of Qatar Fertilizer Co. (Qafco), a JV of which Yara owns 25%.
Under the agreement, Süd-Chemie will develop, produce and deliver all front-end catalysts involved in the production of ammonia as well as applied technical support. Süd-Chemie expects to generate revenue of more than $40 million from the agreement during the next five years.
In particular, Süd-Chemie will provide advanced catalytic technologies for feed purification, hydrodesufurization, steam reforming, high and low temperature CO conversion and methanation.
"We are honored to have been awarded with this substantial long-term contract by the world’s largest producer of ammonia, nitrate and complex fertilizers,” said Dr. Hans-Joachim Müller, the leader of Süd-Chemie’s catalysts business. “This will further strengthen Süd-Chemie’s position as the world’s leading supplier of syngas catalysts for multiple applications in the chemical industry. We will work hard to satisfy Yara’s needs by providing our high performance syngas catalysts in order to ensure maximum efficiency in our customer’s processes for fertilizers and fertilizer intermediates production.”
