thyssenkrupp Uhde has been awarded a contract by Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Ltd (GNFC) for the construction of a nitric acid (WNA - III) plant in Bharuch, Gujarat, India. The scope of work includes licensing, basic engineering, detailed engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and start-up services. Based on advanced thyssenkrupp Uhde technology, the design emphasizes operational efficiency, safety and sustainability.

The plant will have a capacity of 600 metric tons per day (MTPD) of nitric acid. As one of the largest nitric acid plants in India, the new plant will be equipped with Uhde's powerful and proven EnviNOx® technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by eliminating nitrogen oxides from the production of nitric acid.

The long-standing partnership between thyssenkrupp Uhde and GNFC, which spans three decades, is characterized by several successful projects, particularly in the nitric acid sector. The WNA - I and WNA - II plants were also licensed by thyssenkrupp Uhde. This cooperation has laid the foundation of trust and technical excellence, which will be continued with the WNA - III project.

The project is being executed by thyssenkrupp Uhde's local subsidiary in India, which is a leading EPC and engineering consulting company providing solutions in various sectors such as petrochemicals and refineries, fertilizers, cryogenic storage and many more. Over the last four decades, the company has successfully implemented more than 850 projects.
