Ferrara, Italy

Production units

The plant is located in an industrial area and shares common services such as utilities, gate guards, a fire brigade, first aid and canteen with several chemical producers.

The site has two main production units, an ammonia and a urea plant. There are also liquefaction units for CO2 , an argon recovery unit and an ammonia solution plant, all linked to the ammonia plant. An Air1 plant is linked to the urea plant.

Ammonia production is based on natural gas supplied via a pipeline from the national state-owned gas company Eni. Some 60 percent of the ammonia is used directly in the urea plant and the remainder is sent via pipeline to the Ravenna site or sold directly to industrial customers via train or truck.

Production is sold mainly in the domestic market where Yara is by far the largest player.

Sustainability

The plant is certified according to ISO14001 and ISO9001:2000. The plant is also certified in accordance with EMAS as part of the industrial area.
