Thyssenkrupp bags EPC contract for Brunei’s fertiliser plant




ThyssenKrupp AG has been awarded an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract from the state-owned Brunei Fertilizer Industries, for a new fertiliser production facility.
The new greenfield fertiliser complex will have a production capacity of 2,200 tons of ammonia and 3,900 tons of urea per day. It will be located in the Sungai Liang Industrial Park right next to Brunei’s well-established oil and gas industry.
Brunei is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of natural gas. The new plant project will support the government’s long-term development strategy to diversify the country’s economy. As one of the key investment sectors, the development of downstream activities in the petrochemical industry will help better utilize the main economic resources available: oil and gas.
The fully integrated, state-of-the-art fertiliser complex will comprise an ammonia plant with a daily capacity of 2,200 metric tons as well as a urea plant and a urea granulation plant both with a capacity of 3,900 tons per day. After its planned completion in 2021, the plant will use parts of Brunei’s large natural gas reserves as feedstock to produce high-quality nitrogen fertiliser mainly for the export market. Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth and therefore a key agricultural input.
ThyssenKrupp’s scope of supply for this fertiliser complex will include the engineering, supply of equipment, erection, supervision of construction and commissioning as well as various offsite and related utility systems.
