A 1,150 tpd nitric acid plant will be built at Petfurdo, approximately 100 km southwest of Budapest, and is scheduled for completion in 2017.
Nitrogenmuvek Zrt. already operates two ammonium nitrate plants supplied by ThyssenKrupp Industrial Solutions at the Petfurdo site. A plant to manufacture granulated calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) and ammonium nitrate fertilizer is currently under construction.
ThyssenKrupp Industrial Solutions is responsible for engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning of the new nitric acid plant.
