Medicine Hat plant back in operation

Deerfield, Ill.-CF Industries Holdings, Inc. has completed repairs and resumed full production at the No. 1 ammonia plant at its joint venture Medicine Hat Nitrogen Complex in Alberta. The plant, one of two at the complex, had been down since late in February, when damage to internal components was discovered following a brief maintenance outage. The No. 2 ammonia plant there was not affected and has continued operations. Repairs were completed in early March, and start-up procedures began March 13. The ammonia plant began production March 14 and ramped up to capacity operation that weekend. CF has a 66 percent economic interest in the Medicine Hat complex and receives approximately 66 percent of the complex’s output.
