HÀ NỘI — Phú Mỹ Fertiliser Plant, a member of the Petrovietnam Fertiliser and Chemicals Corporation (PVFCCo), began operation after more than one month of overall maintenance.

This was the largest and most complex maintenance, with a total of  五, 二 五 二 work items. The maintenance period started on November  二 二,  二0 一 七, focusing on the combination between the existing plant and the NPK chemical technology plant to increase production capacity.

With this combination, the plant’s capacity has increased by  九0,000 tonnes of NPK fertiliser per year, up some  二0 per cent of its current capacity.

The plant, which is listed as DPM on the stock market, is estimated to have produced nearly  八 二 六,000 tonnes of fertiliser this year, exceeding  七 per cent, as compared to its yearly target. The trading volume of the plant is about  八 一 一,000 tonnes, surpassing  三 per cent of the year’s plan.

As a result, PVFCCo continues to hold more than  四0 per cent of the national nitrogenous fertiliser market. — VNS
