FERTILISERS A fertiliser is any organic or inorganic material of natural or synthetic origin (other than liming materials) that is added to a soil to supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants. 04 05
AMMONIA Ammonia is a chemical compound made of Nitrogen 82% and Hydrogen 18%. It is produced using natural gas as the main feedstock. The other feeds required are steam and air. These feed materials undergo a series of reactions in the Ammonia plant, before Ammonia is produced in gaseous form. This is turned into liquid under pressure and cooling down. Ammonia is stored at a temperature of minus 33 C in a specially refrigerated Ammonia storage tank. A major part of the Ammonia produced in Qatar Fertiliser Company (QAFCO) Ammonia plants is consumed internally, as feedstock for the Urea plants. The surplus Ammonia is exported through ships.

Formaldehyde is first produced by the reaction of Methanol with air, then absorbed in Urea solution to form UFC-85. UFC-85 is an additive, which is added to the Urea product to improve its strength. UFC-85 is used as an anticaking agent for the Urea. Around 80% of the UFC-85 product is consumed internally, in all the Urea plants of QAFCO. The remaining product is exported via trucks to neighbouring countries. Produced by: Gulf Formaldehyde Company (GFC) Urea % 24.5 25.5 UF-24 Formaldehyde % 59.5-60.5 UF-2 Water ( H2O) % Balance calculation UREA Urea is a solid fertiliser containing 46.6% Nitrogen. It is produced by the reaction of Ammonia and Carbon Dioxide under high pressure, both feedstocks being supplied by the Ammonia plant. The Urea produced in solution is turned into a solid fertiliser of spherical granules in the final section of the Urea plant called a granulation unit.
