The largest producer of nitrogen, phosphorus, and combined fertilizers in Bulgaria Agropolychim chose IPA to design the expansion of the existing storage tank for liquid ammonia to its production base in Devnya.
The project, which will ensure the company is able to maintain its main production activity and to deliver ammonia to external consumers at home and abroad, provides the company with the prestigious investment class A certificate.
The first deliveries to ammonia companies in Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, Bosnia, and Romania are now a fact. With this, the company requests to become an ammonia hub in the Balkans. The company also works on several projects for the production of nitrogenous and various multi-component fertilizers containing phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and trace elements. The production of high-tech specialized fertilizers relevant to specific areas of agriculture is also being developed.
The company is one of the region's largest producers of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, focused on providing invaluable alternatives and sustainable solutions for the future.
IPA is included in the company's new key investment step - a second ammonia storage tank for the needs of the company's large-scale production. Agropolychim's advantage is that it does not use natural gas but ammonia, which can be bought anywhere in the world.
A challenge in the project is to adapt the new storage tank to the existing first one, built 9 years earlier. The solution requires extreme precision in the design process to ensure maximum protection against earthquakes.
As a result of the expansion, the facility operates at double capacity. The experts of IPA have also prepared a detailed BIM model to help with the overall management of the facility in the future.
