2.1.2 Project Proponent

Zuari Agro Chemicals Limited (ZACL) formerly known as Zuari Holdings Limited, is part of

ADVENTZ group of companies. Adventz has been created by the coming together of some of India’s

leading companies with a combined turnover of around USD 3.0 Billion. It was incorporated in the year

1967 by late Dr. KK Birla as a joint venture with US Steel Corporation, USA. It was set up, in Goa, to

manufacture Urea, NP/NPK fertilizers. The plants were commissioned and commercial production

commenced during the period of 1973-75.

ZACL operates a fertilizer complex consisting of an Ammonia plant, a Urea plant, NPK plant ‘A’ and

NPK plant ‘B. Ammonia plant commissioned in 1973 is based on Naphtha as feedstock and fuel. Urea

plant also commissioned in 1973. NPK plant ‘A’ commissioned in 1975 and NPK plant ‘B’ commissioned

in 1984. The present operating capacities are 1210 MTPD for Urea Plant, 702 MTPD for Ammonia

Plant, 1230 MTPD for NPK-A and 1296 MTPD for NPK-B Plant. Also offsite and utilities of required

capacity is available to support above production capacities.

ZACL further went ahead with plan for Naphtha c/o to NG / RLNG and revamp of production units and

obtained Environmental Clearance for it in Sept., 2009. The Naphtha c/o to NG/RLNG project was

implemented in April, 2011 and revamp of production plants are under development for

implementation.

2.3 Need for the project and its importance to region

2.3.1 Customized NPK fertilizers

A healthy soil would ensure proper retention and release of water and nutrients, promote root growth

and resist degradation. Due to increased food grain production as a result of excessive & skewed

fertilizer use, it has resulted in poor soil health. Thus response of fertilizer to grain yield per hectare

has declined. The Indian soil have shown deficiency of S, Zn, B, Mo, Fe, Mn and Cu to the tune of 41,

49, 33, 22, 12, 5 and 4 % respectively. According to nutrient response study of irrigated areas it has

been established that grain yield per hectare per ton of nutrient is decreasing. The same is depicted in

the trends produced below.

Government of India has taken initiatives to promote balanced fertilization to increase crop

productivity. Through survey of soil sampling across the country, it was established that the nutrient

deficiency has different profile in different regions. Thus it is region, soil and crop related and site

specific nutrient management is required. The bulk blending by farmers have not been found so

effective because mixing by them remain disproportionate without backed by proper soil testing,

segregation of granules due to different size and poor response by roots. The Indian farmers adopted

same practice for all the crops. Department of Agriculture introduced a new provision under clause 20

A of FCO, 1985 to include any potential new fertilizer for production and trial in the country and

Customized fertilizers have been added in April, 2008 to balance fertilization demands, specific

formulation to produce a blended fertilizer containing the required major and micro nutrients and has

already approved total 13 grades of customized NPK to be produced for application in various districts

of Maharashtra and Karnataka. Considering the requirement of modern soil testing laboratory, the

government has allowed large fertilizer manufacturers to engage themselves in soil testing and

production of Blended / Customized fertilizer for the promotion of balance fertilization.

ZACL also took initiatives and carried out field tests of these Customized NPK fertilizers in 2010 / 2011

and submitted the results to the concerned departments.

There is enough evidence that Blended / Customized fertilizers are widely used in developed countries

which cater to the specific soil, crop and the climate. The production of straight fertilizers are

centralized in a big units and the production of Blended / Customized fertilizers are decentralized,

managed in a small set up. In western countries due to large farm holding and mechanized

agriculture, the farm owners themselves have set up of Fertilizer Blending Units. China has taken lead

with 4500 plants, more than 500 grades and annual production capacity of 2000 lakh MT for Blended /

Customized fertilizer. The statistics above indicates, there is a need for a serious consideration to

produce good quality Blended / Customized fertilizers in the country.

As a prudent organization, to promote the balance fertilization, ZACL decided to set up a 30 TPH

Fertilizer Blending Unit in the existing fertilizer complex at Zuarinagar, Goa so as to utilize the benefit

of available land, infrastructure and utilities.

The project team from ZACL has reached an understanding for setting up the project. Subsequently

we explored with various engineering companies for the services of engineering work for the proposed

project development and reached to conclusion of setting up the proposed project. This “Project

Report” has been prepared by project team of Zuari based on inputs from its study of site location,

market analysis and financial viability. All the important facets of project are explained in depth in

subsequent chapters.

2.3.2 Steam Power Generation Unit

The existing Steam-Power Generation (SPG) facility at ZACL, Goa consists of 2+1 HP Steam

Generation Boilers, a 7.5 MW Turbo Generator (TG) Set and a 6.075 MW (ISO) Diesel Generator (DG)

Set. While the Boilers and the TG Set services the Steam and Power requirements of the Ammonia,

Urea and Utilities Plants, the DG Set (and its associated LP Boiler) services the Steam and Power

requirements of the NPKA, B Plants.

To complement/supplement the proposed revamp of Ammonia, Urea as well as the NPK-A, B plants

for which EC is already issued by MoEF, it is now proposed to revamp the SPG facility too. The thought

process to revamp the SPG facility stems from the fact enumerated below:

TG Set

Has reached a point of being obsolete;

Heat Rate lower than a state of art Gas Turbine based Power Generation facility;

Reliability questionable;

Recurring maintenance cost = Rs. 50 Lacs/Annum.

DG Set

Poor Reliability; Frequent breakdowns;

Very highly maintenance intensive – High recurring cost Rs. 2 Crores/Annum;

Straight Changeover to NG/RLNG – Impractical.

In view of the above mentioned facts, it is proposed to replace the 2+1 HP Boilers, TG Set & DG Set

with a Gas Turbine (GT) along with a downstream HRSG (Heat Recovery Steam Generator). The

Revamp Ammonia, Urea & NPK-A, B plants facilitates the installation of 25 MW (ISO Rating) GT along

with MP Steam (37 Kg/cm2g) generating HRSG with a unfired capacity of 50 MT/hr (70 MT/hr with

supplementary firing). This concept of SPG Revamp elegantly closes the Steam & Power Balance of

the entire factory complex.

It is well known fact that the efficiency of an Electrical Motor Drive is far better than a Condensing Turbine Drive. Taking advantage of this, it is proposed to change the drivers of the following machinery from Condensing Turbine to Motor:

Process Air Compressor in Ammonia plant

Ammonia Plant Cooling Tower Pumps

Urea Plant Cooling Tower Pumps

Urea Plant Recycle Carbamate Pump

ZUARI AGRO

CHEMICALS LTD.




When the revamp takes effect, the Ammonia plant not only becomes self-sufficient in terms of Steam

requirement, it also turns into a net exporter of MP Steam to Urea plant. In the Urea plant, the CO2

compression system would be revamped to a state of art single centrifugal compressor driven by an

Extraction-Condensing Turbine whose Steam demand will be met through a combination of export

steam from Ammonia plant and Steam generated in the HRSG downstream of GT.

With the removal of DG Set, the Steam-Power requirement of the NPK-A, B plants will be serviced by

the GT+HRSG combination itself.

This revamp of SPG facility would result in the following:

CHP Efficiency – FERC method

TG + DG + MP Steam to Process: 11.8 MW + 110.5 MT/hr – 48.2%

GT + HRSG (SH to process): 23.3 MW + 50 MT/hr – 57.7%

SPG Facility becomes “State of Art”

Higher Reliability and Efficiency

Reduction in Specific Energy Consumption of Urea by 0.4 GCal/MT

Reduction in Raw Water Consumption to the tune of 70 m3/hr

Lower Fuel consumption; consequently, lower GHG Emission

Conservation of Natural Resources viz. Water & Natural gas

The proposed revamp of SPG facility would not only enable ZACL, Goa to narrow the gap with the

1990’s vintage plants in terms of Specific Energy Consumption of Urea, but also achieve Sustainability

and Reliability.

2.3.3 Atmospheric Ammonia Storage Tank

Presently the Ammonia received via ship is being stored in 1 x 5000 MT Atmospheric Storage Tank at

Vasco Port. Ammonia from this tank is transferred to the Zuarinagar Plant through insulated road

tankers. The ammonia received at Plant @ (-) 28 to (-) 30°C and is unloaded into 2 x 3000 MT

Spheres. As a safety measure, decommissioning of existing Ammonia storage Horton spheres and to

install 1 x 5000 Atmospheric ammonia storage tank at Zuarinagar Plant. New AST with its auxiliary

facilities will be housed in the Naphtha storage tank farm area after removing the Naphtha tanks and

clearing the site. Ammonia from new AST shall be transferred to NPK Plants.

2.3.4 Urea Granulation Plant

Urea, the largest finished nitrogen fertilizer product, is traded globally. Urea is a commodity product

with an important influence over most other nitrogenous fertilizer prices. Urea is sold mainly as a

fertilizer for use as such (direct application) or to a lesser extent for blending with other phosphatic

and potash fertilizers to produce NP/NPK compound fertilizers.

DEVELOPMENT OF UREA INDUSTRY RUNS parallel to build up of ammonia in the country. Urea being

the main product for supply of nitrogen, urea plants were installed along with all ammonia plants with

a few exceptions.

The gap in demand and supply of urea - a key fertiliser - is projected to rise to 11 million tonnes (MT)

by the 2016-17 fiscal. "There is an urgent need for construction of new urea projects to fill the

projected consumption and production gap of 11 million tonnes by the year 2016-17", industry body

Fertiliser Association of India (FAI). According to a report of the Working Group set up by the Planning

ZUARI AGRO

CHEMICALS LTD.




Commission for the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17), India needs to invest Rs 40,000 crore in the

fertiliser sector to increase the country's urea production capacity.

Viewed against the background of continuing gap for urea as also the long-term objective of achieving

self-sufficiency in agricultural production and thereby minimizing imports.

2.4 Export Possibility

The proposed project shall be catering the soil and crop specific fertilizer needs of the existing nearby

marketing area in Maharashtra and Karnataka. The distribution of fertilizer shall be done by trucks

through marketing network of ZACL.

2.5 Domestic/ Export Markets

Zuari Agro Chemicals Ltd has marketing offices spread over a wide marketing area covering the states

of Goa, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Our marketing head office is based

at Zuarinagar Goa. The wide area coverage ensures that we are able to meet the needs of the Indian

farmer. Zuari has over 2,000 dealers and 5,000 sub dealers that market its various brands of fertilizers

and other agri inputs. Throughout our marketing territories, Zuari seeks to facilitate farming and

farmers, guiding them in scientific agricultural practices that help in improving crop yields.

With NBS in place and favorable encouragement from government to industry, the fertilizer

manufacturing companies took initiatives for production and promotion of customized fertilizer in the

country. TCL, Babrala became the first fertilizer company to establish the blending Plant facility for

production of Customized NPK fertilizers in the year 2009. Subsequently few other companies have

come forward to establish the similar Blending plant facility such as NFCL, Coromandal and IGFL. ZACL

also decided to move ahead with setting up of a 30 TPH Fertilizer Blending Unit for production of

Customized NPK fertilizers.

The company has taken market development and awareness program through activities such as crop

seminar through govt. scientist representing universities and Krishi Vikas Kendras, crop specialist,

training for KHARIF, RABI and annual season crops, display of wall paintings where it will create an

impact and display in ZACL product-shed in weekly bazaar day, festival day, fair days, public meetings

and other traditional days.

Company has also carried out in-depth study of market potential Taluka wise in its marketing areas.

location is well connected with road and rail. It is about 0.5 km from National Highway 566 and about

5 Km from Verna and Consolim Railway stations. The MPT port located at a distance of 8 km is well

connected with road network and can be used to transport raw materials. The plant is having its own

railway siding for rake movement.

3.4 Size or Magnitude of Operation

Size or Magnitude of proposed operation is given in Table 2-1 & Table 2-2.

3.5 Project description with process details

Zuari have engaged the services of Jacobs Engineering India Ltd for the engineering of this project.

The Basic Engineering Package has been already completed and under review by Jacobs, USA and the

Detail engineering activities are expected to start very soon. ZACL is also carrying out exhaustive test

studies to transform the Soil & Crop specific Formulations into practical grades.

3.5.1 Customized Blending Unit

The Customized Fertilizer will be produced by bulk blending of various raw materials and it is the

simplest, the most economical and versatile method of producing Customized Fertilizers (N, P, K, S

etc.) along with micronutrients like Zinc, Boron, Molybdenum, Copper etc. The process involves Weigh

Feeding, Size reduction, Mixing, Steam granulation, Drying, Cooling, Coating and Bagging. The plant

has been designed to produce about 20 grades of customized NPK fertilizers as per specific to crop

and specific to site.

The process can be described as follows:

Based on the product grade to be produced the solid fertilizer raw materials from the individual

hoppers are batched and fed to the system. Feed material also contains the recycled undersize

product material.

The feed mixture is crushed to uniform size by special type of crusher and passed through

screens.

Feed material is mixed thoroughly and fed to the rotary drum steam granulator where the

granules are formed by the agglomeration process.

The Low Pressure Steam is fed to the granulator which comes in contact with the material.

From the Granulator the material fed to the rotary dryer which is a co-current dryer. The hot air

for drying is generated in the Hot air generator.

From the dryer the material is fed to the vibrating feeder which separates the lumps and it is fed

to the 1st screen.

The dust generated from the dryer is passed through cyclone separators and Bag filters to remove

the dust materials and fed to the Scrubbers before venting it through the chimney.

The desired product material from the 1st Screen is fed to the rotary cooler.

ZUARI AGRO

CHEMICALS LTD.




Rotary Cooler uses the ambient air for cooling the product material. It is a countercurrent cooler.

The air from the cooler pass through the cyclone separators, Bag filters and wet scrubbers to

chimney through ID Fan.

After the cooler the material is then fed to the series of screens where the fines are separated

from the product mixture and recycled back to the granulator. The recycle ratio is approximately

50%.

The product material of desired size is sent to the coating drum which is a rotary drum where the

final product material is mixed with coloring agents and other additives.

The final product from the coating drum is conveyed to Product storage hoppers which supply the

material to the bagging.

3.5.2 Atmospheric Ammonia Storage Tank

Liquid ammonia received from road tankers & from Ammonia Plant will be stored in one number

atmospheric Ammonia storage tank having a net effective capacity to store 5,000 MT of liquid

ammonia excluding vapor space. The tank shall be double integrity cup-in-tank, comprising of an

inner cup (in which the liquid ammonia is stored) and an outer tank. The outer tank is designed for full

containment of vapors and liquid in the event of failure of inner tank.

The outer tank shall be insulated with rigid polyurethane foam insulation that shall be formed insitu.

The bottom insulation is foam glass which is a load bearing insulation. The top of the cup is insulated

by mineral wool insulation which is spread on a suspended deck.

The tank shall be equipped with two pressure relief valves to safeguard against overpressure.

(Isolation valves will be provided with suitable mechanical interlock). The tank shall be equipped with

2 nos. of vacuum relief valves to safeguard the tank against vacuum (isolation valves will be provided

with suitable mechanical interlock).

The tank shall rest on elevated foundation for a free passage of air from below, so as to avoid freezing

of foundation. Staircase tower with platform landing up to tank top is proposed for access to tank top

ZUARI AGRO

CHEMICALS LTD.




nozzles. Hand railing shall be provided right around the tank. Internal monkey ladder of CS material

shall be provided for inner cup.

Tank pressure is maintained between 450-900 mm WCg and adequate alarms and interlocks are

provided to safeguard the tank against pressure excursions on either side of the operating range. In

case the tank pressure rises abnormally, HIC control valve is provided for controlled venting to the

flare. A quick closing valve in pump suction line is provided with interlock to close on low tank level.

Refrigeration System:

Liquid ammonia at a maximum rate of 90 T/h is received from the tanker unloading line through a 8”

line and rate of 45 T/h through 6” line from existing ammonia plant line with suitable tapping taken at

Battery limit (B/L) near the tank. Vapors from flashing and boil off are withdrawn by two ammonia

refrigeration screw compressors 10K01 A/B. the gas is compressed and condensed in water cooled

condensers 10E02 A/B and sent to the ammonia receiver 10V02.

Liquid is withdrawn from the receiver under level control. A part of this liquid is flashed in the

economizer 10K01-E01, which operates at a pressure of approximately 1.5 kg/cm2g. Flashed ammonia

vapors at about -15 °C are admitted into the economizer port of the screw compressors. The balance

liquid ammonia from the receiver gets cooled to about – 10 °C in the economizer by the resultant cold

from the above described flashing and is returned back to the storage tank.

Inert, mainly dissolved nitrogen present in liquid ammonia, do not condense and accumulate in the

condenser and receiver causing pressure to build up. Purging of inert is required to prevent this

pressure build-up and it is achieved by means of the pressure controller installed on the receiver. The

purge stream is cooled in economizer to recover ammonia, before sending it to the flare.

Transfer of Liquid Ammonia

Liquid ammonia from tank will be transferred at the rate of 46 m3/h to NPK A/B plants by using the

ammonia transfer pumps 10 P01 A/B and existing ammonia preheater.

Flare System

Hot flare system shall be provided for the ammonia tank. Flare system shall be sized considering

future requirement of additional 5000 MT tank. The ammonia vapor pressure built up in the storage

tank in the unforeseen event of an emergency shall be diverted to flare system. The inert built-up in

the system is also let out to the flare under pressure control in the receiver.

Thermal relief valves are provided in sections of pipelines where liquid ammonia can get blocked in.

The relief valves discharge into a header, which is routed to a drain pot 10 D01. The drain pot is

vented to the storage tank in normal case or to the flare by means of three-way valve in case of upset

condition.

List of major safety interlocks is given in Table 3-2.

3.5.3 GT & HRSG (SPG)

It mainly consist of compressor, combustor, Gas Turbine, Generator and Heat Recovery Steam

Generator. ZACL will use Natural Gas as Fuel for Steam power Generation Unit.

Combustion (Gas) Turbines

Combustion turbine plants operate on the Brayton cycle. They use a compressor to compress the inlet

air upstream of a combustion chamber. Then the fuel is introduced and ignited to produce a high

temperature, high-pressure gas that enters and expands through the turbine section. The turbine

section powers both the generator and compressor. Combustion turbines are also capable to burn a

wide range of liquid and gaseous fuels from crude oil to natural gas.

The simple cycle efficiency can be increased by installing waste heat boiler onto the turbine’s exhaust.

A waste heat boiler generates steam by capturing heat form the turbine exhaust. These boilers are

known as heat recovery steam generators (HRSG). They can provide steam for heating or industrial

ZUARI AGRO

CHEMICALS LTD.




processes, which is called cogeneration. High-pressure steam from these boilers can also generate

power with steam turbines, which is called a combined cycle (steam and combustion turbine

operation). HRSGs can increase the combustion turbine’s overall energy cycle efficiency up to 80%.

3.5.4 Urea Granulation Plant

New Casale Vortex Granulation

The prills from the prilling tower will be screened in the new Prills Screener to separate the fine

product (i.e. prills with a diameter below 1.2-1.3 mm) from the good product (i.e. prills with a

diameter above 1.2-1.3 mm).

The good product will be sent to the existing storage facilities whereas the fine product will be used as

seeds for the new Granulation unit.

This is possible only due to the unique design of Vortex Granulation technology which allows to obtain

an on spec product at the granulator outlet with no need of screening crushing and recycling.

The seeds are lifted to the granulator feeder by a small bucket elevator, or, depending on the plant

layout, via a belt conveyor.

The seeds will be enlarged in the new Vortex Granulator to an average diameter of about 2.8 mm,

spraying the urea solution at 96% after injection of urea formaldehyde solution.

The temperature of the fluidized/rotating bed granulator will be controlled by 5 heaters installed on

the fluidized air.

The granulated product will be preliminarily cooled in the granulator itself to about 75°C and then will

be fed to the new solid cooler to reach 45°C at its outlet.

The solid cooler temperature will be controlled through a dedicated tempered water circuit.

The exhaust air from the granulator will be scrubbed in a scrubbing section in order to reduce the dust

content to 30 mg/Nm3 before it’s delivering to the atmosphere. The urea solution from the scrubbing

system will be sent to the underground drain tank and then recycled to the concentration section as

already mentioned here above.

An additional urea solution tank has been foreseen to prevent the reduction of plant capacity during

the flushing activities required on the new Granulator (8 hrs. of storage has been considered).

The absence of screening crushing and recycling of the granulated product, the height of the

granulator structure will be much lower than the one of the other Granulation technology (i.e. 18-20 m

against 45-50 m of different technologies).

PRODUCTION UNITS AT ZUARINAGAR, SOUTH GOA, GOA SITE ANALYSIS


4 SITE ANALYSIS

4.1 Connectivity

The proposed location is well connected with road and rail. It is about 0.5 km from National Highway

566 and about 5 Km from Verna and Consolim Railway stations. The MPT port located at a distance of

8 km is well connected with road network and can be used to transport raw materials.

4.2 Land Form, Land Use and Land ownership

The entire fertilizer facility is set up on land area of 1013 acres which is industrial land and leveled one

at Zuarinagar, Goa. The proposed unit will be established in existing fertilizer complex as ZACl having

adequate land & other facilities. The area required by proposed unit is already described in previous

section.

4.3 Topography (along with map)

Topographically the area is a coastal plain with marine landforms situated on the slopes of Western

Ghats. Geologically the topography of the Western Ghats is distinctive. Over the entire length of the

Western Ghats the widest belt of forests is around Goa.

Most of the river originate from Western Ghats and drain in the Arabian Sea in the west under

estuarine environment. Primarily the underlying rocks govern the drainage system in the area. The

drainage pattern is generally dendritic type. The river valley is ‘V’ shaped in the western high hill

ranges, but broadens in central midlands and become ‘U’ shaped in the low lands and coastal plains.

The straight coastline suggests the major fault along the west coast. Associated with this fault a

number of weak planes have developed. Western Ghats, which extends in NS to NNW – SSE direction

represent a prominent fault zone. Even though the rock types of Goa Group have suffered

considerable faulting, all the faults are not exposed on surface owing to the extensive cover of laterite.

Topographical map is given in Figure 4-1.

ZUARI AGRO

CHEMICALS LTD.




Figure 4-1: Topographical map

4.4 Existing land use pattern.

The existing fertilizer production facility is in operation since last 38 years. The land is for industrial

6.05 MW operating on furnace oil, as well as other infrastructure facilities including Utilities, Water

Storage, Electrical sub-stations, Firefighting systems, workshops, railway siding, etc.

4.6 Soil classification

Soils of the district can be classified into 4 types namely:

1. Laterite soil is the major soil type in the district. It is highly porous & permeable, slightly acidic

with low pH values, low in organic matter, Calcium and Phosphorus.

2. Saline soil in the area occurs in the flood plains of major rivers. The soil is deep, poorly drained

and less permeable. It is saline, high in pH and contains humus and organic matter.

3. Marshy soil occurs in low-lying water logged and tidal affected areas.

4. Alluvial soil occurs as very thin strip along the coastline towards western part. It is reddish brown

to yellowish, coarse grained and confined to narrow valleys of rivers. It is well drained, acidic with

low pH and organic content.

The study area is comprised of young alluvial soil of Entisols group. They are formed on surface

features of recent geologic origin, on underlying material that is highly resistant to weathering, or

under conditions of extreme wetness or dryness.

Soil map of proposed area is given in Figure 4-2.

9 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL

Soil and crop related and site specific nutrient management is required. There is a need for a serious

consideration to produce good quality Blended / Customized fertilizers in the country.

Department of Agriculture introduced a new provision under clause 20 A of FCO, 1985 to include any

potential new fertilizer for production and trial in the country and Customized fertilizers have been

added in April, 2008 to balance fertilization demands, specific formulation to produce a blended

fertilizer containing the required major and micro nutrients. Government of India also has taken

initiatives to promote balanced fertilization to increase crop productivity.

Fertilizer Blending Unit for Customized NPK Grades which involves simple process and no chemical

reaction as such. It is Sustainable yield, reduction in cost of fertilizer & having better economic value

too.

Installation of GT/HRSG will improve efficiency resulting in substantial energy saving. By installing

25MW GT, we intend to convert steam driven turbines to motor driven, thereby making them more

efficient and after installation of GT/HRSG, the atmospheric pollution load will reduce due to lower fuel

consumption.

Atmospheric Ammonia Storage Tank is Modernizing & Sustainability techniques, safest mode of

storage of liquid Ammonia & will reduce risk and enhancement of safety.

Urea Granulation plant will be uniquely designed which is High Energy efficient (Low Power

Consumption), High product quality & Low emission.

All the other project execution related activities, as mentioned earlier, are interlinked and have impact

on the final outcome.

As a prudent organization, to promote the balance fertilization, ZACL decided to set up a 30 TPH

Fertilizer Blending Unit, GT, HRSG, Atmospheric Ammonia Storage tank & Urea Granulation plant in

the existing fertilizer complex at Zuarinagar, Goa so as to utilize the benefit of available land,

infrastructure and utilities.

In addition to these projects will generate direct employment of 100 people. Projects are proposed on

existing land of ZACL, hence rehabilitation or land acquisition is not required which will shorten time

for execution. These project would go a long way in the economic development of Goa in particular

and the country in general.
