Mangalore Chemicals and Fertilizers (MCF) Ltd has planned to refurbish its ammonia facility and hopes to have it operational by June 2022.
According to Prabhakar Rao, MCF’s Director (Works), in accordance with the Department of Fertilizers’ new urea policy, which directs urea producers to further improve their energy consumption norms, MCF has decided to overhaul its ammonia plant (intermediate in urea production) in order to bring it up to par with modern plants in terms of energy consumption.
MCF’s ammonia and urea units were put into service in 1976. The company currently generates roughly 4 lakh tonnes of urea per year.
