St. Louis-It is full speed ahead at Lange-Stegmann Co. and its Agrotain International subsidiary as the company is planning an open house and other events for its St. Louis Urea Center and the Stabilized Nitrogen Center in mid-September. Lange-Stegmann says the unique combination is the first inland urea import terminal and the first urea manufacturing plant using phase modification in the U.S. Competitively situated on the Mississippi River, the company says the facility ensures year-round access to and from the country’s agricultural heartland by road, rail, and river transport. The company told Green Markets last week that the rumors of sinkhole problems at the site were not true. “A sewer collapsed on an adjacent street which caused a temporary issue with utilities which had minor effects on construction and for a few days one of our warehouses had to operate using a generator,” said a company spokesman. “The local authorities and utilities have the situation under control and repairs are in the works. We do not expect this to have any further impact on our operation.”
