The workshop is designed for engineers working in the fertilizer industry, particularly those who have recently assumed new responsibilities, to increase their technical knowledge in nitrogen fertilizer production and for new engineers to become better acquainted with new technologies in the industry.

Objective of the Workshop

The objective of the IFA-IFDC workshop is to provide engineers in the fertilizer industry with an in-depth view of nitrogen fertilizer production technologies and identify future trends and needs. The workshop will examine the status and most recent nitrogen fertilizer production technologies to produce fertilizers and intermediate materials. The workshop will help improve participants’ skills and broaden their vision and understanding of the entire industry, including technology, economics, energy use, safety and environmental stewardship. The knowledge gained will enable participants to solve specific problems and improve operation and profitability of their plants. The workshop will provide an opportunity to exchange ideas and disseminate information through discussion of the various technical, economic, safety and environmental issues.

The workshop is designed for engineers working in the fertilizer industry, particularly those having recently assumed new responsibilities, with a view to increasing and/or renewing technical knowledge and expertise. It is also designed for new, up-and-coming engineers who would like to become better acquainted with the most efficient technologies and manufacturing processes in the phosphate sector.

Expert lecturers will provide in-depth reviews of the best available techniques for producing phosphate fertilizers and intermediate materials as well as provide information on newly-developed processes leading to optimal efficiency.

The objective of the IFA-IFDC workshop is to provide engineers in the fertilizer industry with an in-depth view of phosphate fertilizer production technologies as well as to provide exposure to global safety, health and environmental practices that have become part and parcel to responsible fertilizer operations.

Key benefits of participation:

• Improve participants’ technical knowledge base, including the understanding of the best available technology options, economic factors impacting the sector, energy use scenarios, and the best approaches to safety and environmental management.
• Enhance trouble-shooting skills in order to better identify and resolve operational inefficiencies leading to increased on-stream time
• Gain key insights on production management practices via interactive workshop discussions and through the broad exchange of ideas on a range of technical, economic, safety and environmental topics.
• In a nut shell: learn from the best and brightest in the phosphate sector!
