China began the production of superphosphate and fused calcium-magnesium phosphate in 1950s. From 1960s, a certain number of small-sized ammonium phosphate plants and associated phosphoric acid plants had been built up in succession, which mainly produced mono-ammonium phosphate. Since 1980s, in order to accelerate the development of ammonium phosphate, by introducing advanced western technology and utilizing domestic technology, 15 large and medium-sized plants producing high-concentration phosphate compound fertilizers and more than 80 medium and small-sized ammonium phosphate plants using slurry process and associated phosphoric acid plants have been built up, forming a considerable scale. At present, the total production capacity for ammonium phosphate has been above 8.5 million tons, and the production capacity for NPK has been approximately 9 million tons. In 2002, the phosphate fertilizer output of China reached 8.06 million tons (as 100% P2O5), which accounts for 24% of the phosphate fertilizer output of the world and took the second position in the world.

ECEC is one of the earliest engineering companies engaged in developing technology and constructing projects for phosphate compound fertilizer, and has in succession undertaken the construction of dozens of large and medium-sized phosphate compound fertilizer bases or plants. The variety of the products includes SSP, MAP, DAP and NP/NPK. Examples of these bases or plants include the phosphate compound fertilizer base of Anhui Liuguo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. for 200kt/a of phosphoric acid (as 100% P2O5), 400kt/a of DAP and 100kt/a of NPK; the phosphate compound fertilizer base of Yunnan Honglin Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. for 160kt/a of phosphoric acid (as 100% P2O5), 240kt/a of DAP and 150kt/a of NPK; the plants of Fuling Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. for 120kt/a of phosphoric acid (as 100% P2O5) and 240kt/a of DAP; the 800MTPD DAP project of BCIC, Bangladesh; the plants of Yunnan Phosphate Compound Fertilizer Base for 300kt/a of phosphoric acid (as 100% P2O5) and 600kt/a of DAP; and the 600kt/a NPK plant of Sino-Arab Fertilizers Co., Ltd., etc. With dozens of years' continuous development of engineering technology and uninterrupted engineering experiences, ECEC has been in the leading position in the construction of phosphate compound fertilizer projects in China.

In order to provide customers with phosphate compound fertilizer plants that are advanced in technology and reliable in operation, ECEC maintains long-term and good cooperative relations with a wide range of well-known foreign licensers, such as Rhone-Poulenc, Pryon, GP, Hydro, Incro, etc. in addition to independently developing process technology and proprietary equipment.

Sample projects:

240kt/a Di-Ammonium Phosphate Project
Customer: Anhui Liuguo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.
Plant capacity: 120kt/a of phosphoric acid, 240kt/a of DAP
Source of technology: ECEC's process technology
Process route: Phosphoric acid is produced by the di-hydrate process, double-tank reaction technology, which uses a tilting-disk filter for filtration, forced circulating and vacuum concentration, with which DAP is produced by a pre-neutralization, ammoniation & granulation process and quality DAP product is obtained through the process steps of neutralization, granulation, drying, screening, crushing, cooling, off-gas scrubbing, etc.
ECEC's scope of work: Provision of process technology, engineering design, technical service, supervision on construction, installation, commissioning and start-up.
Construction time: 1999~2001.

Qinhuangdao 600kt/a NPK Compound Fertilizers Project
Customer: Sino-Arab Chemical Fertilizers Co., Ltd.
Plant capacity: 600kt/a of NPK
Source of technology: License and process package from GP, France.
Process route: Phosphoric acid, potassium salt, nitrogen salt and ammonia are used as raw materials with a pipe-reactor technology, which go through reaction and granulation, drying, screening, crushing, cooling and off-gases scrubbing to get high-quality NPK product.
ECEC's scope of work: Turnkey.
Construction time: 2000~2001.
