Toyo wins design deal for new India urea plant
Toyo Engineering has finalized a licensing and development contract for the basic design of a urea production plant in the fertilizer complex to be constructed at Kanpur in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
The complex is run by Jaiprakash Associates Limited (JAL), a company of India’s Infrastructural conglomerate, Jaypee Group.
India is now confronted with a growing demand for fertilizer to increase food production to meet the rising demand prompted by the growing population, Toyo officials said.
Many companies now plan to build fertilizer plants to cover such needs.
Against this background, JAL has decided to make their new way into the fertilizer business.
The planned fertilizer complex will consist of an ammonia plant with a production capacity of 2,200 tpd and a urea plant with 2 trains of 1,925 tpd each.
The ammonia process will be based on the technology from KBR, while the urea process will utilize TOYO’s own technology.
Toyo has completed eleven fertilizer projects in India since it built its first urea plant in 1963.
