Tokyo-Toyo Engineering Corp. and PT Inti Karya Persada Teknik have jointly received a notice of bidding award for a fertilizer project from the state-owned Indonesian fertilizer company PT Pupuk Kalimantan Timur (Kaltim). The plant will be constructed in Bontang, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The contract is for engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services on a lump-sum turnkey basis. As Kaltim currently operates four plants in Indonesia, the new plant will be their fifth in that country. With a production capacity of 2,700 mt/d of ammonia and 3,500 mt/d of urea plus utilities facilities, the new plant is in the largest class in the world. The bidding started in September 2010. A total of five groups from Europe, Korea, and Japan bid for the project, with Toyo’s group overcoming the competition to receive the order. Toyo says the new plant will be the 100th urea plant using Toyo’s proprietary ACES21® urea synthesis technology and urea granulation technology that the company has built in areas spanning the globe.
