ATS PROJECT IN SLOVAKIA

STERCORAT Hungary Kft is pleased to announce its development plans in the field of production of liquid fertilizers in Slovakia.

In cooperation with SLOVNAFT a.s. and employing state-of-the-art technology from ThioSolv LLC, Stercorat is investing in a project to construct and operate a facility for the production of Ammonium Thiosulfate Solution (ATS) with a capacity of up to 30,000 MT per year. The new product will be launched on the market in 2018.

ThioSolv LLC, based in the U.S., is a market leading company in the treatment of refinery gases, SWAATS process, producing Ammonium Thiosulfate (ATS) to agriculture and also provides specialist business and technical consulting to the petroleum and chemical industries.

SLOVNAFT a.s., member of MOL Group, based in Bratislava, Slovakia, is a refinery with a processing capacity of 5.5 - 6 million tons of crude oil annually. The company’s core business includes production, warehousing, wholesale, retail sales and distribution. SLOVNAFT operates the largest retail network in Slovakia offering top quality motor fuels and lubricants and also provides other customer focused services such as shops, gastro services, car washing as well as many others.

STERCORAT will utilize a unique ThioSolv® SWAATS technology at the SLOVNAFT Refinery. Production of ATS solution in agricultural quality by the conversion of desulfurised off-gas represents the most efficient utilization of Sour Water Stripping Gas (SWSG).
Our technology is sustainable and environmentally friendly - SWAATS technology brings a significant reduction of SO2 emissions compared to a conventional sulphur recovery unit and helps to improve the environmental footprint of oil refining.

Our production capacity of up to 30,000 MT per year and the large storage capacity up to 10,000m3 make us highly flexible and a very reliable partner.
