Japan’s Toyo Engineering Corp. said it has been awarded a urea licensing and equipment supply contract for Indonesian fertilizer producer PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja Palembang’s (Pusri) new fertilizer plant in Palembang, South Sumatra. The contract was issued by China’s Wuhuan Engineering Co. Ltd., the contractor for the new production facility.
The facility will have 2,750 mt/d of urea production capacity, as well as capacity for ammonia production, and is targeted for completion in 2027, Toyo said on Nov. 20. The news follows reports last month that holding company PT Pupuk Indonesia was planning to build a new ammonia and urea plant (GM Oct. 20, p. 29).
Toyo said it will provide its urea license and the process design package as a urea licensor, as well as proprietary equipment and associated technical services for the project.
According to a Bloomberg report in October, citing Indonesia’s Investor Daily, PT Pupuk Indonesia’s planned new plant would have capacity to produce 445,500 mt/y of ammonia and 907,500 mt/y of urea.
