Commissioning of mechanical granulation line two - in line with the project plan, the Management Board of Grupa Azoty Puławy has given the green light to start the mechanical pre-commissioning and commissioning of Nitrate Mechanical Granulation line two. The decision marks another phase of one of the largest fertilizer projects implemented in Poland. Each of the two mechanical granulation units has an estimated daily production capacity of 1,200 tonnes of mechanically granulated nitrate or 1,400 tonnes of CAN. The first line started commercial operation on June 11th last year.
Grupa Azoty’s second-quarter 2022 results were strongly impacted by the turmoil caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which adversely affected the availability and prices of feedstocks, pushing up prices of final products across all business segments. As a result of lower exports, the volumes of fertilizer supplied by Grupa Azoty to the domestic market were significantly larger compared with the same period last year.
