Alexandria Fertilisers Company (AlexFert) is developing plans for a major expansion of its urea/ammonia plant at Abu Qir. The $600 million expansion, subject to the finalisation of a feedstock agreement with Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS), will add 2,000 tonnes a day (t/d) of ammonia and 3,300 t/d of granulated urea at the site by 2010.
