EcoPhos Integrates Veolia’s HPD® Evaporation Technology

Veolia’s HPD® systems will be an essential part of a new fertilizer production facility in Egypt which EcoPhos is providing to its end-customer Evergrow.

The  HPD systems  will be installed as two separate units and will include a calcium chloride pre-concentration and concentration plant as well as a phosphoric acid concentration system. Both HPD systems are key components to ensure the final production of water soluble, high-quality fertilizer.
 
At the new fertilizer facility in Egypt, the Veolia process equipment will contribute towards production of 60,000 metric tons (MT) of di-calcium phosphate (DCP), 33,600 MT of purified phosphoric acid (PPA), and 90,000 MT per year of granular, anhydrous calcium chloride. The phosphate end product is sold into the agricultural and animal feed markets and, following the start-up of the plant at the end of 2017, will as such contribute to the economic sustainability of Evergrow’s customers.

“ The professionalism of Veolia’s team was remarkable, they offered a right-first-time, smart and integrated process solution with a low energy consumption ”, said Laurent Palierne, Business Development Manager at EcoPhos. “ Veolia’s equipment in the overall plant will both concentrate phosphoric acid to 85% H3PO4 and 160,000 MTPA of calcium chloride of which, 90,000 MTPA will be granulated to 96% CaCl2.  Purified calcium chloride is a co-product of our eco-friendly, proprietary EcoPhos process and results from the reaction of hydrochloric acid with low-grade rock to produce DCP and PPA .”
