CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CF)
4today announced that
the new urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) plant
at the company’s Donaldsonville, Louisiana,
Nitrogen Complex was started-up in early March 2016,
and has achieved consistent, stable operation.
The plant has produced
more than 80,000 tons of UAN since start-up.
This is the second new plant
to be commissioned and started-up
as part of CF’s major capacity expansion projects
in North America.
It is the largest operating single-train UAN plant
in the world.
Total annual UAN capacity at Donaldsonville
is now 4.2 million product tons,
up from 2.4 million tons previously.
The Donaldsonville complex has flexibility
to switch upgraded product production
between UAN and urea products,
so the actual product mix of UAN, granular urea
and other urea products
will vary based on market conditions.
Upon completion of the new ammonia plant,
the Donaldsonville complex
will be the largest nitrogen facility in the world.

CF Industries Holdings, Inc.
“The finish line for our Donaldsonville capacity expansion project
is now in sight,”
“The new UAN and granular urea plants
are running consistently at or above nameplate capacities,
and the new ammonia plant is
within a few weeks of being mechanically complete.”
