The Czech Republic’s Unipetrol, a wholly owned subsidiary of Polish energy group Orlen Group SA (GM Oct. 12, 2018), reported that it has completed a Czk370 million (approximately $17.2 million at current exchange rates) project to modernize its ammonia production plant in Litvínov.
The project, which included the commissioning of a new ammonia reactor, has raised Unipetrol’s ammonia production capacity to 500 mt/day and reduced CO2 emissions at the site.
Unipetrol, through wholly owned subsidiary Neratovice-based Spolana, produces agricultural and industrial grades of ammonium sulfate and is also the Czech Republic’s only producer of PVC and caprolactam.
