Phulpur Urea Plant CO2 Recovery project

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, in collaboration with Mitsubishi Corporation, has signed a contract with the Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative (Iffco) for setting up two carbon dioxide (CO2) recovery units at its Aonla and Phulpur fertiliser plants. Each of these units has a production capacity of 450 tonne per day. The switch over from gas or naphtha to liquified natural gas as the feedstock for fertiliser production normally causes CO2 shortage for fertiliser production. The CO2 recovery plants help supply enough CO2 to not only maintain the current urea production level but also for future production expansion.
