Enid, Okla.-Koch Nitrogen Co. LLC said March 18 that it has completed enhancements to its facility at Enid, Okla. Koch says the project provides an additional 140,000 st/y of urea to the market and significantly enhances the plant’s rail load-out capability. More than 600 people were contracted to complete the project. Improvements included replacement and modification of equipment and production process re-configuration, allowing for increased ammonia and CO2 throughput to ultimately increase urea output. “The work we’ve done will allow us to better meet the fertilizer demands of farmers in the area and the region,” said Ken Dayton, Enid plant manager. “We are pleased to be able to better serve our customers and increase our ability to upgrade ammonia and CO2 to urea to meet market demand.” Koch purchased the Enid plant in 2003 during the Farmland Industries Inc. bankruptcy process.
