USN expects full production in mid-2016

Mosheim, Tenn. — US Nitrogen LLC (USN) told Green Markets Feb. 18 that it is completing construction on its liquid ammonium nitrate plant in Greene County, Tenn. Commissioning processes are in progress and will continue over the following months in a phased approach. Current plans call for the facility to come online for full production in mid-2016. Local residents, many of whom are vocally opposed to the project, had complained last week that orange smoke and a smell of burnt rubber was coming from the plant. USN did not respond to the allegations.
