thyssenkrupp Uhde Egypt on Feb. 22 announced that it has signed a contract with Egypt-based Delta Co. for Fertilizer and Chemical Industries to revamp an existing ammonia plant complex located in Dakahlia, Talkha, Egypt. thyssenkrupp said it will bring the ammonia plant back into operation, increase capacity and efficiency, and make it ready for blue ammonia production.
Responsible for the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED), thyssenkrupp Uhde will provide engineering for the revamp of the ammonia plant as well as the ammonia offsite and central utility units. The company will also supply its uhde® ammonia technology for the production of ammonia and urea.
Together with the FEED solution, thyssenkrupp said this technology will enable the plant to be recommissioned after a three-year shutdown, while at the same time increasing the plant’s capacity from 1,275 to 1,400 mt/d of ammonia.
Delta belongs to Egypt’s state-owned Holding Co. for Chemical Industries, which owns ammonia, urea, nitric acid, and ammonium nitrate plants in Talkha, Egypt.
