Ammonium Nitrate Production Expansion Project: Phase 2, Kwinana

Project
Proponent
Proposal description

The proposal is to expand CSBP's Kwinana Ammonium Nitrate Production Facility (ANPF) by incorporating additional components into the existing facility and re-engineering (debottlenecking) some existing components in order to increase ammonium nitrate production capacity from 520,000 tpa to 936,000 tpa.
