Koch Fertilizer, Wichita, reported that it has completed construction of the Enid, Okla., ammonia truck loading facility upgrade. It will be open for loading this spring season, as early as March 15.
The facility has been relocated and upgraded as part of the latest Koch Fertilizer Enid expansion project, with the objective to improve truck loading reliability and efficiency, but also to create a better experience for truck drivers.
“By relocating the racks, truck drivers have easier access to the loading facility and will see improved loading speed with four dedicated racks and upgraded equipment,” said Mike Kleis, Senior Vice President of Operations for Koch Fertilizer Enid and Koch Methanol St. James.
The Enid project builds on other investments in the past five years to reduce logistics constraints from its facilities, including ammonia loading facility improvements at the Beatrice and Fort Dodge plants. Other major upgrades at Enid, as well as Fort Dodge, Iowa, are due later this year. An ammonium thiosulfate terminal at Fort Dodge and upgrades at Beatrice, Neb., were completed in 2021 (GM Feb. 11, p. 1).
