Hyderabad: Mangalore Chemicals & Fertilizers Limited (MCF), a subsidiary of ZuariAgro Chemicals Limited, has announced the successful implementation of the ammonia energy improvement project. MCF, with a history of over 50 years has attained energy efficiency at par with modern plants. The project was implemented at a capital cost of over Rs400 crore and is expected to deliver significant improvement to the bottom line.
MCF converted its urea operation earlier from naphtha to gas based after the receipt of gas in December 2020. As per the extant policies of government of India for the urea manufacturing companies, there is a mandate to reduce the energy norms further from December 2025. In the process, it has converted the vintage plant to a highly energy efficient plant at par with modern plants to comply with the mandate of the DOF to achieve the target energy norm.
The existing plants were studied by renowned technology providers in the field of ammonia and the project was completed with the support of marquee global and domestic suppliers.
