On Thursday, October 15th, Grupa Azoty Puławy officially launched a unit for the production of PULGRAN® / PULGRAN®S fertilizers, the final project under the New Fertilizer Complex programme worth over PLN 450m in total.
“It is clear to us that if we had stopped
growing, we would not be able to continue as a European leader in fertilizer
production. This is our way of building the position of the Grupa Azoty Group
as a European champion and strengthening the position of the national economy,”
said Paweł Jarczewski, Grupa Azoty CEO, during the official launch of the new
installation.
The New Fertilizer
Complex is the largest project implemented by Grupa Azoty Puławy in recent
years. It was built after five years of international research initiated by the
company. The first phase of the Complex was ready in 2013. The units placed in
service that year included Europe’s first and the world’s third ammonia-based
wet flue gas desulfurization unit, a unit for the production of liquid
fertilizers with a sulfur content (PULASKA and UAN – RSM), and a logistics
centre for granulated fertilizers. The capital outlay on the first phase of the
programme totalled PLN 360m.
“The unit for the
production of solid fertilizers based on urea and ammonium sulfate that is
being placed in service today marks the closing of a certain chapter in our
history and opens up a brand new one. PULGRAN® and PULGRAN®S are two
top-quality products made to meet the needs and expectations of our customers
and target markets, which Grupa Azoty Puławy and the entire Grupa Azoty Group
always closely follow,” said Marian Rybak, President of the Management Board of
Grupa Azoty Puławy.
With the new
installation, the company will be able to extend its product chain in the
fertilizers business and strengthen its lead in the market for urea
fertilizers. The project budget totalled PLN 137.5m. The production plant built
under the project includes a PULGRAN/PULGRAN S pelletizing unit with an hourly
capacity of 20 tonnes and annual capacity of roughly 160,000 tonnes.
