Toyo selected for Chambal project

Tokyo—Toyo Engineering Corp. has been awarded a contract for a project by Chambal Fertilisers and Chemicals Ltd. (CFCL) to construct a large-scale fertilizer complex in Kota, Rajasthan, India. The complex will have an ammonia plant with capacity of 2,200 mt/d, and a urea plant with capacity of 4,000 mt/d. Toyo valued the project at US$600 million and said it is expected to be complete in early 2019. Ammonia production technologies will be supplied by KBR Inc., Houston, and Toyo’s urea synthesis technology – “ACES21®” – will be employed. Meanwhile, Toyo-India has been independently awarded contracts for onshore engineering, procurement, and construction works for the project. Toyo completed another fertilizer complex for CFCL in 1999 that has been in steady operation ever since. Toyo said while this is its second project for CFCL, it is the 15th fertilizer project it has constructed in India since 1962.
