Polymer Sulfur Coated Urea

The product:

Polymer sulfur coated urea (PSCU) introduced in 1992 is one of the most prevalent types of Controlled Release Fertilizers in the world. PSCU is made by coating urea with one or more layers of sulfur and certain types of polymers. This allows for gradual release of nutrients to plant allowing for better access to nitrogen for the plants, less-frequent applications of urea and preventing water contamination.

Our Goals:

building a 100,000 tons per year Polymer Sulfur Coated Urea plant in the Hormozgan Province, Iran. Hormozgan Province is chosen as the ideal location due to availability of raw materials and access to favorable business conditions. The plant is expected to achieve production in 18 months.

Project Location

Hormozgan province in Iran is selected as the ideal location for this project. 1.6 million tons of Urea is produced annually in the Shiraz Petrochemical plant in the Fars Province and sulfur is abundantly available from gas processing facilities in the neighbouring Bushehr province.

Market Analysis

Global consumption and production:

Global consumption of Urea in the Agriculture industry was 136 million tons (equivalent to 63.6 million tons of Nitrogen) in 2019. This includes solid urea, Urea Ammonium Nitrate solution (UAN), and Controlled Release Fertilizers (CRF) as demonstrated in Figure :
