CVR Partners LP, Sugar Land, Texas, recently told analysts that the fourth-quarter turnaround at its Coffeyville, Kan., nitrogen plant resulted in another 100 st/d of UAN capacity.
CVR said it completed the installation of an additional CO2 compressor and ammonia pump at Coffeyville, which led to the increase in UAN production. It said the increased production should provide a quick payback for that capital project (GM Feb. 25, p. 26).
Going into the turnaround, Coffeyville capacity stood at 1,300 st/d for ammonia and 3,000 st/d for UAN.
