JESA Technologies today announced that it has obtained a feasibility study for a MAP/DAP granulation plant for the Ammaroo Phosphate Project in the Northern Territory of Australia.
The site is located in the West Georgia Basin, about 220 km southeast of Tennant Creek, 270 km northeast of Alice Springs, 95 km from the Adelaide-Darwin Railway and 1,000 km from Darwin. The plant will be able to produce 960,000 metric tons per year of granular fertilizer based on 50% MAP product and 50% DAP product.
This project aims to be an integrated fertilizer complex that includes:
- On-site extraction of rock phosphate.
- Phosphate rock upgrade plant.
- Phosphoric acid plant.
- Sulfuric acid plant.
- ammonia plant.
- granulation plant.
- Utilities, which include raw water, water treatment plant (purification and reverse osmosis), power plant, auxiliary boilers and air compressors, storage, rail import and export, etc.
- Ancillary services include gas pipeline, railway line, residence village and airport.
- Darwin’s infrastructure which includes port facilities, workshop, offices and control room.
David Evil, Managing Director, JESA Technologies, said: “We are very pleased to be working with Verdant Minerals on this feasibility study. This will be the second MAP/DAP plant in Australia, after the successful project at Phosphate Hill. “
Chris Tziolis, Managing Director of Verdant Minerals said: “We are delighted to welcome Jessa to the Ammaroo project. We look forward to incorporating JESA’s significant granulation expertise into this exciting value-added project that could play an important role in securing Australia and the region’s supply of phosphate-based, ammonium fertilizer, which is essential in the future.”
