Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Dehkanabad potash fertilizers plant is planning to launch the second production line with the capacity of 400,000 tonnes a year in 2014.
Dehkanabad Plant on Production of Potash Fertilizers has been commissioned in July 2010. The project capacity of the plant is 200,000 tonnes of product a year. The project cost was US$123.7 million.
Fund for Reconstruction and Development of Uzbekistan allocated US$61.9 million loan, while China’s Eximbank issued US$41.7 million loan to finance the project. Uzkimyosanoat also directed its own funds to finance the construction.
Uzbekistan started to construct Dehkanabad Plant on Production of Potash Fertilizers in 2007 on the base of Tyubegata potassium salts deposit. In 2008, Uzkimyosanoat inked agreements with Russia’s Zapodnouralskiy Machinjstroitelniy Kontsern and China’s CITIC Pacific Ltd on construction of the plant. In particular, the Russian firm will build mining complex and Chinese firm - processing plant.
Pravda Vostoka newspaper reported that the company exported 180,000 tonnes of 208,800 tonnes of potassium chloride to China, Sri Lanka, India, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, the UAE and others. Content of potassium chloride in mined ore is one of the highest in the world – 32%.
Sarvar Yusupov, deputy head of production-technical department of the company, said that last year, the company increased its capacities by 20,000 tonnes. The first line can produce up to 220,000 tonnes of products. He said that the company plans to launch second line next year and its capacity will be 400,000 tonnes. The exports volume will reach 527,000 tonnes or 85% of total produced goods.
The second line will be located 100 meters away from the current plant and it is constructed by Chinese CITIC Pacific Ltd, which also constructed the first line.
Russia’s Zapodnouralskiy Machinjstroitelniy Kontsern will construct ore deliver line at the enterprises, which will help to decrease use of trucks to deliver of ores from Tyubegata field. The field is located 45 km away from the plant.
The paper said that trucks will be used to transport potash salts to the plant. The paper added that a project on processing of potash salts with the capacity of 100,000 tonnes was developed.
