Tatarstan Republic (Russia)-based nitrogen fertilizer and methanol producer JSC Ammoni produced some 450,000 mt of ammonium nitrate (AN) in 2022, according to a FertilizerDaily report, citing the Mendeleev News telegram channel.
In total, the Mendeleev-based producer produced 1.2 million mt of nitrogen fertilizers, according to the report.
Ammoni has nameplate capacity for the production of 715,000 mt/y of ammonia without methanol production, or 487,300 mt/y of ammonia with integrated production (and 233,800 mt/y of methanol), 717,500 mt /y capacity for granular urea, and 380,000 mt/y of AN, according to the company’s website.
The company in 2021 announced plans to build a new ammonia and urea production facility, and in March of that year set up a subsidiary Ammoni 2 LLC to act as the operator for the new production facility (GM April 9, 2021).
The Ammoni 2 project was planned to include 3,500 mt/d of ammonia production capacity or annual capacity of 1.3 million mt/y, and a granular urea production facility with 4,200 mt/d capacity or annual capacity of 1.5 million mt/y. Construction had been targeted to start at the end of 2021 or the beginning of 2022, but the current status of the project is unclear.
JSC Ammoni came under new ownership in July 2020, when its biggest creditor and 22.8% shareholder, Russian state development bank corporation VEB.RF, closed a deal to sell 100% of the company to Russian fertilizer and chemicals producer Kemerovo Azot (GM July 24, 2020).
