OCP (www.ocpgroup.ma) and Shell (www.shell.com) are pleased to announce that they have signed a key strategic agreement regarding the license of Shell Thiogro technology.
The Shell Thiogro technology (www.chemengonline.com/joint-effort-enable-production-sulfur-enhanced-urea-large-scale) will enable OCP to produce highly concentrated sulfur-enhanced fertilizers, helping end-users unlock even greater crop yields and improved soil health. The Shell Thiogro technology will be installed at OCP’s Jorf Lasfar site in Morocco, enabling the fertilizer leader to expand its portfolio by incorporating micron-sized particles of elemental sulfur into its existing ammonium phosphate, NPKs and current sulfur-enhanced products.
The technology is expected to be installed and commissioned in 2017.
