U.s. urea factory should start operations earlier this month

The first urea plant in North Dakota must begin making solid fertilizer earlier this month, turning the US Great Plains Synfuels operations and acting as a blessing to regional farmers.
$ $740 million plant, located near Beulah, was built to produce synthetic natural gas from lignite coal. But with the addition of urea plant, the installation will produce mainly fertilizers.
The Urea will be the 13th product produced on the Synfuels Plant. The plant already produces ammonium sulfate and anhydrous ammonia. The urea fertilizer brings to about 51% of the gross revenue of the plant.
The plant will be expanded to the full production fairly quickly and process daily 1,100 tons of urea. Half of the anhydrous produced by the plant will be converted into urea.
