Strategic priorities
-
Maintaining leadership positions in the global chemical industry in terms of output
Nord Imperial PJSC is among top five ammonia producers: the company produces almost 20% of ammonia in Russia and some 10% of ammonia in the world.
-
Production efficiency and stability
Since 2012, Nord Imperial has been implementing the production facility upgrade program through 2022. The program entails comprehensive repairs and upgrade of all production infrastructure facilities, including seven ammonia units and two carbamide units, two unique refrigerated tanks for liquid ammonia storage, with a volume of 29,000 metric tons each, biological treatment plants and railroad infrastructure.
In 2017, NORD IMPERIAL will start the construction of the third carbamide unit with a capacity of 2,200 metric tons per day. The project, developed in cooperation with Urea Casale and NIIK OJSC, envisages the construction of a high-tech unit, which will produce reduced air emission and 93% carbamide purification. NORD IMPERIAL invests over 9.5 bln roubles in the construction. The facility will be commissioned in 2019.
In 2018, NORD IMPERIAL will launch the construction of a new ammonia purge gas recovery unit with a capacity of 1,860 metric tons per day. The project was developed in cooperation with KBR and ORGKHIM engineering company and implements an industrial technology, which is unique for the Russian chemical industry: purge gas from the units located at NORD IMPERIAL area will be used a raw material for ammonia production. Using the resources of the enterprise will lead to a considerable increase in the unit performance and reduction of negative environmental impact.
Given the absence of the traditional reforming and purification stage, ammonia production from purge gas involves practically no liquid and gaseous waste. The overall waste produced by the new unit will amount to 0.27% of the total waste of the plant. In addition, cutting process stages will result in minimising energy consumption to 8.5 Gcal per metric ton of produced ammonia. The unit will be put into operation in 2020.
-
Expanding commodity markets
NORD IMPERIAL accounts for a 20% share on the Russian market of mineral fertilizers. At present, NORD IMPERIAL production is exported in 120 countries. The completion of transshipment complex construction in the port of Taman, Krasnodar Territory, will provide for the stability of cargo flows and expand the sales geography, by 2020.
