en.Wedoany.com Reported - Casale will provide core process technology and proprietary equipment for a new coal-to-ammonium nitrate complex in India, a project supported by the Indian government to enhance national energy security and industrial resilience.

Casale will leverage its ammonia technology expertise to supply a core 920-ton-per-day ammonia synthesis loop (N-LOOP), providing the basic feedstock for downstream nitric acid and ammonium nitrate (AN) production. The company has over 80 reference cases globally for ammonia synthesis loops with single-unit capacities of up to 3,100 tons per day.

This marks a significant milestone in India's development of a new coal-based industrial value chain and the strengthening of self-sufficiency in strategic chemical production. Once operational, the project will become India's largest ammonium nitrate complex, expected to meet nearly 35% of the country's projected ammonium nitrate demand by 2030.

Within the overall value chain, Casale will supply a 1,650-ton-per-day weak nitric acid (WNA) unit, a 2,000-ton-per-day ammonium nitrate (AN) unit, and a 400-ton-per-day high-density ammonium nitrate (HDAN) granulation unit, utilizing its proprietary DualPURE and NitroCULTIVA processes. The company has over 120 reference cases globally for nitric acid and ammonium nitrate plants.

The project will achieve a fully integrated value chain from coal-to-ammonia to weak nitric acid, ammonium nitrate, and high-density ammonium nitrate. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi presided over the project's groundbreaking ceremony in mid-June.
