NPK Fertilizer Production Costs - Q2 2023
NPK Fertilizer Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
NPK Fertilizer (a.k.a. NPK) designates a group of fertilizers that contains all three major nutrients that are required in agriculture: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). NPK fertilizers have the important advantage of simplified application, since all nutrients can be dispensed in a single operation. Moreover, each granule of fertilizer has the same composition, ensuring uniform distribution of the nutrients in the soil.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining NPK Fertilizer production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q2 2023).
NPK Fertilizer Production (Phosphonitric Process)
This report presents the economics of a typical phosphonitric process for NPK Fertilizer production in the United States from rock phosphate, phosphoric acid, ammonia, and nitric acid. Initially, rock phosphate is digested with nitric acid and phosphoric acid. The NP solution generated is then neutralized with gaseous ammonia. To produce NPK potassium chloride or sulfate is finally admixed. The product formulation is 15-15-15 (15% N, 15% P2O5, 15% K2O).
Details: 300 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report NPK E11A target a 300 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
NPK Fertilizer Production (Odda Process)
This publication approaches a typical Odda Process for NPK Fertilizer production using rock phosphate, ammonia, nitric acid and carbon dioxide. Initially, rock phosphate is digested with nitric acid. Calcium nitrate is removed by crystallization from the NP solution, which is neutralized by addition of gaseous ammonia. To produce NPK potassium chloride or sulfate is finally admixed. The product formulation is 16-16-16 (16% N, 16% P2O5, 16% K2O). The economic analysis is based on a plant located in the United States.
Details: 400 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 0 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report NPK E21A target a 400 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.

Ammonia Production from Natural Gas (Combined Reforming)
This report presents the economics of Ammonia production from natural gas in the United States using a process similar to KBR Purifier process. In the process examined, syngas is initially produced from natural gas via a combined reforming. The syngas is purified through several steps into nitrogen and hydrogen which are synthesized to ammonia.
Details: 800 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 108 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Ammonia E21A target a 800 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Weak Nitric Acid from Ammonia (Medium Pressure Process)
This report analyzes the economics of Nitric Acid production from ammonia via a typical Medium Pressure process in the United States. In this process, ammonia is initially oxidized to nitric oxide. Then, nitric oxide is oxidized to form nitrogen dioxide, and absorbed (at the same pressure) by water producing 65 wt% Nitric Acid solution as the final product.
