The joint stock company Uzkimyosanoat has announced that urea production has begun at the new US$985 million ammonia and urea production complex at JSC Navoiyazot.
JSC Navoiyazot is a chemical plant in Uzbekistan that produces mineral fertilizers by processing natural gas. Construction of the new complex began in September 2016 to replace two outdated and energy inefficient facilities built in the 1960s. The new complex produced its first urea on 23 December 2020.
Mr Jurabek Mirzamakhmudov, Chairman of the JSC Uzkimyosanoat, said: “I would like to thank our national and international partners who supported the construction of the new ammonia and urea production complex at JSC Navoiyazot. Commissioning of the new complex was completed within 53 days despite Covid and existing restrictions, testament to the hard work of all involved.”
