Incitec Pivot Ltd. said today that it has achieved a further milestone at its ammonium nitrate complex at Moranbah in Queensland’s Bowen Basin.
The downstream plants–nitric acid, AN solution and AN emulsion, have produced the initial tons of ammonium nitrate. This production was based on imported ammonia. The commissioning of the ammonia plant continues according to plan and will be brought on line in the fourth quarter of IPL’s financial year, after the downstream plants are stabilized.
