Details: Category: Tamil Nadu Fertilizer Projects

Coromandel Fertilizers to expand its fertilizer unit at Ennore near Chennai in Tamil Nadu. The project involves expanding Fertilizer Plant Ammonium Phosphate Sulphate (1,70,000 to 3,30,000 MTPA) Sulphuric Acid (1,81,000 to 2,80,450 MTPA) and Phosphoric Acid (35,800 to 66,000 MTPA).

Plant	Consent Capacity (Existing)	Proposed Capacity
Fertilizer Plant	170,000 MTPA	330,000 MTPA
Phosphoric acid Plant	35,800 MTPA	66000 MTPA
Sulphuric acid plant	1,81,000 MTPA	280450 MTPA

The total project cost is estimated at Rs. 20 million. No Sulphuric acid and Phosphoric Plant will be installed and additional requirement if any of Sulphuric acid and Phosphoric Acid will be imported. Increase in production will be achieved through technology innovations, process improvements, improving on-stream hours, maximization of equipment capacity and continuous supply of raw materials. Sulphuric acid plant will be based on DCDA technology. Anodic alloy protected coolers and scrubbers will be provided to Sulphuric acid plants. Five stage scrubbing system will be provided to control gaseous emissions. Scrubbers will also be provided to Phosphoric acid plant to scrub fluorine. Spray nozzles in the Fertilizer plant, improved catalyst in the Sulphuric Acid Plant and Kimre mesh pads with multi wash system will be provided to Phosphoric acid plant to control air emissions. Cyclone and scrubbers will be provided to control dust. Scrubbers will be provided to control NH₃ and SO₂, Bag filters will be provided in Phosphoric Acid Plant to control dust emissions. Fume scrubbing system will be provided in Granulation Plant.
