Oslo—Yara International ASA recently announced the completion of its 250,000 mt/y upgrade at its NPK plant in Uusikaupunki, Finland. The new capacity, which is aimed at the export market, will take total capacity at the facility to 1.3 million mt/y. Yara said the new production NPK granules are dried by using recovery heat from the nitric acid production instead of oil-fired heating, reducing the plant’s carbon footprint.
