Agrium Inc.’s Redwater, Alberta, ammonia/urea facility (#2 plant) was shut down Oct. 15, 2013, due to a failed waste heat boiler. The facility is expected to be under repair until Nov. 20, 2013. The reduced ammonia availability from Redwater nitrogen is also expected to result in a lower operating rate for Redwater’s phosphate plant for the fourth quarter. The Redwater #2 nitrogen annual plant capacity by product is as follows: 680,000 mt of gross ammonia, 250,000 mt of net ammonia, 720,000 mt of urea, 180,000 mt of nitrogen solutions, 250,000 mt of industrial ammonium nitrate, and 355,000 mt of ammonium sulfate.
