Saudi Arabia Fertilizers announced a further delay in the opening of the SAFCO V facility.
The plant was to have begun production in the second half of 2014. Mechanical and technical issues with the facility caused the company to announce opening would occur in the first quarter of 2015. Additional issues pushed back test runs in the plant until just a month ago.
SAFCO announced today further technical issues will push back the full opening of the plant until the end of June.
Once up and running, the plant will be expected to turn out 1.1 million mt of granular urea.
