Growth from the beginning onYara is the world's leading producer of mineral fertilizers and industrial chemicals. The company was founded in 1905 under the name Norsk Hydro with its head quarter in Oslo. In 2004 the company was restructured and the agriculture section operates as an independent company under the name YARA today.
The plant in Steinburg has two main production units: the ammonia and the urea plant. The ammonia will be processed to plant nutrients in other YARA production facilities in Europe; in addition it will be distributed internationally as a basic material for the production of synthetics, adhesives and colouring material. The ammonia plant differs from other plants, while using super heavy oil and not natural gas as a basic material. Super heavy oils contain sulphur and metal components, particularly vanadium. These will be extracted after the gasification of oils in integrated process plants as elementary sulphur for the fabrication of sulphuric acid and as vanadium mixed oxide for the fabrication of special steels.
Urea is used next to the application as a nitrogen single nutrient as well as a basic material for feed production as well as a basis product for the pharmaceutical and synthetic resin industry.
Different ammonia and urea qualities are produced according to specifications, which are aligned of the concrete requirements of the market. Furthermore an air separation plant in the ammonia synthesis plant creates the air gases nitrogen, oxygen and argon, which are used for different technical and industrial applications.
To guarantee a possible environmentally compatible production and application of their own products, YARA invests considerable funds in research and development.
