TOYO's Proprietary Urea Synthesis And Granulation Technology Adopted For World's Largest Urea Plant Project In Nigeria
Toyo Engineering Corporation (President and CEO: Eiji Hosoi, “TOYO”) is pleased to announce that its proprietary urea synthesis and granulation license has been selected for the world’s largest urea plant planned by BUA Chemicals Limited (“BUA”), a chemical fertilizer manufacturer in Nigeria. The plant will consist of two production lines, each with a capacity of 4,000 tons per day.
The project is currently in the FEED (Front End Engineering Design) stage. With a view to future license provision, TOYO will serve as the licensor for urea synthesis and granulation, delivering the Process Design Package (PDP)*.
TOYO has delivered its proprietary urea technology to more than 110 plants worldwide. In Africa, the same world-scale capacity of 4,000 tons per day has already been adopted for four major projects, demonstrating TOYO’s proven track record in the region. These proven achievements led to the adoption of TOYO’s license for this new project.
With global population growth driving increased food production, fertilizer demand is expected to continue rising, and numerous fertilizer plant projects are currently planned worldwide. As a leading licensor of urea technology, TOYO remains committed to contributing to Nigeria’s food supply stability by leveraging its urea technology and engineering expertise to meet growing agricultural needs across Africa and beyond.
