Using innovative and clean coal gasification technology, the plant will transform sub-bituminous coal into 2 million tonnes per annum of urea.
Perdaman has signed contract with G.S. Engineering & Construction of Korea. GS (E&C) will act as the lead contractor for the EPC work, which consists of the gasification island, which is central to the conversion of coal to hydrogen rich gas, the product island, which converts gas to urea, and the various utilities. The contract comprises Phase 1 work up to financial close for the project during the second quarter of 2010, and for Phase 2 construction work scheduled to start later in 2010. GS (E&C) are committed to Perdaman's Australian industry participation and local community objectives and will be establishing operations within Australia prior to the commencement of construction.
The state of the art coal gasification, ammonia and urea melt and granulation technology will be sourced from three international companies. Oil and gas major Shell will provide the plant's core coal gasification and gas treatment technology, with Danish company Haldor Topsoe A/S providing the ammonia synthesis technology, and Netherlands company Stamicarbon BV providing its Urea 2000 plusTM melt technology and fluid bed granulation technology.
