85 Category 3: Industrial Buildings and Plants 3 Owner NAK AZOT Novomoskovsk Architect Jan Zmelík General Contractor NAK AZOT Novomoskovsk Engineering Office Casale Project a.s. Construction Period 02/2013 - 07/2015 The construction site is located in Novomoskovsk, Russia. The planned production of the new plant is 1,800 tons of ammonium nitrate per day. There are several steel structure units in the complex – ammonium nitrate production and evaporation, absorption unit, additives preparation, air cooling with ammonia, drying, cooling and classification, installation of absorption, prilling tower, pipe and cable racks. The structural engineering software SCIA Engineer was used for the design of all steel structure models using the Russian hot-rolled profiles. After the climate and technological loads were applied, the structures were analysed according to the Eurocodes. During the design and loading process, the steel structure designers co- operated closely with other professions – piping, equipment and electrical. The import/export files into/from software Aveva and Advancesteel were used. The results of the static analysis (reactions, anchoring design, global end connection forces, deformations, bearing capacity, unity check of steel) were presented in the Engineering Report and also in the common civil/ mechanical 3D model using software Navisworks. Ammonium Nitrate Production - Novomoskovsk, Russia Casale Project a.s. Contact Jan Zmelík Address Sokolovská 685/136f 186 00 Prague, Czech Republic Website www.casaleproject.cz Casale is one of the oldest companies active in the field of synthetic ammonia production. Throughout its existence, Casale has been active in the construction of new plants. Casale acquired in 2014 from Borealis (formerly GPN) the complete set of that company’s proprietary process technologies for the production of nitric acid (NA), ammonium nitrate (AN), urea-ammonium nitrate solution (UAN) and multi-nutrient fertilizer products, including its granulation technology. Urea is one of the most important agricultural fertilizers. A large part of the ammonia produced in the world is transformed into urea in plants installed downstream of ammonia production units.
