Toyo Engineering’s synthesis technology selected for world’s largest urea plant

| By Mary Bailey

Toyo Engineering Corp. (Tokyo) announced that its proprietary urea synthesis and granulation license has been selected for the world’s largest urea plant planned by BUA Chemicals Limited (BUA), a chemical fertilizer manufacturer in Nigeria. The plant will consist of two production lines, each with a capacity of 4,000 tons per day.

The project is currently in the FEED (Front End Engineering Design) stage. With a view to future license provision, TOYO will serve as the licensor for urea synthesis and granulation, delivering the Process Design Package (PDP).

TOYO has delivered its proprietary urea technology to more than 110 plants worldwide. In Africa, the same world-scale capacity of 4,000 tons per day has already been adopted for four major projects, demonstrating TOYO’s proven track record in the region. These proven achievements led to the adoption of TOYO’s license for this new project.
