Construction of a mineral fertiliser production complex is continuing at the Turkmenabat Chemical Plant named after S.A. Niyazov. The foundation stone was laid last year, reports TDH.

The new complex is designed to produce 350,000 tonnes of superphosphate and 100,000 tonnes of ammonium sulphate per year. The project aims to expand the country’s chemical industry’s production capacity.

The ‘Industry 4.0’ concept is being implemented at the plant. It involves the digitalisation of production processes and the use of artificial intelligence technologies to monitor chemical operations and ensure the accuracy of product composition.

It is reported that industrial internet technologies and big data analytics will be applied in production. This will enable real-time monitoring of phosphate fertiliser output, optimisation of raw material and electricity consumption, and a reduction in the risk of production disruptions.

The project also provides for the creation of new jobs for graduates of technical higher education institutions.

Particular attention is being paid to environmental safety. The technology involves a closed-loop system for production gases, which will reduce emissions into the environment.

The modernisation of the Turkmenabat Chemical Plant named after S.A. Niyazov is seen as part of the development of the chemical industry and the introduction of resource-saving technologies.
