The order, bagged by L&T’s Engineering & Construction Division against competition from global EPC contractors, is the first feedstock conversion project ordered, as per the directive of the Government of India, to convert FO/LSHS based ammonia plants to natural gas, in order to bring down energy consumption per MT of ammonia.
The project has been awarded on a lump sum turnkey basis including process technology.
GNFC is in the business of manufacturing and selling fertilizers and chemicals having an existing ammonia plant based on Fuel Oil (FO) / Low Sulphur Heavy Stock (LSHS). |
