Thyssenkrupp wins major fertilizer plant order in Brunei
KUCHING: Thyssenkrupp has received a new order from the state- owned Brunei Fertilizer Industries for the design, procurement and construction (EPC) of a new fertilizer production facility.
The deal was signed on August 26, 2017 and is expected to become effective later this year. The new greenfield fertilizer 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.
Peter Feldhaus, chief executive officer of the Industrial Solutions business area of thyssenkrupp: “We are proud to work together with Brunei Fertilizer Industries to support the country’s transformation into a diversified industrial economy.
