Ukraine’s state-owned PJSC Sumykhimprom fertilizer and chemical producer is in the process of returning to production after a long pause, according to Interfax, citing the Ukraine media. Plans are to produce nitrogen-phosphorus and complex fertilizers. Ammonia and sulfur have already been purchased, with phosphates and potash currently being sourced, according to the report.
The facility shut down in emergency mode soon after Russia invaded Ukraine (GM March 25, 2022). An ammonia leak was also reported at the plant in the early days of the invasion though it was not clear if that was an accident or occurred from shelling. The facility, in the city of Sumy, is near the Ukraine/Russia border.
The plant also produces titanium dioxide, sulfuric acid, and other types of inorganic chemical products.
