Yara International ASA, Oslo, on Nov. 13 reported the closure of its wholly-owned ammonia plant in Point Lisas, Trinidad. The Yara Trinidad plant is one of three ammonia plants operated by Yara Trinidad Ltd. The remaining two plants, Tringen I and Tringen II, are jointly owned by Yara International ASA and National Enterprises Ltd (NEL).
The Trinidad plant is one of Yara’s smallest ammonia plants, with an annual production capacity of approximately 270,000 mt/y. In addition to small scale, the plant has a lower energy efficiency than Yara’s average.
