Europe's biggest urea plant comes on-stream: The Dortmund-based ThyssenKrupp EPC contractors have supplied and commissioned a plant for the production of 3,500 tons per day of urea solution in Sluiskil, Netherlands, for Yara of Norway. The plant, which took three years to build, has now been handed over to the customer. Yara has invested €400 million in its construction.

The technology was licensed by the Dutch company, Stamicarbon. ThyssenKrupp Uhde was responsible for the engineering, supply of all equipment and the construction of the plant on a fixed-price, turnkey basis.
