Cherepovets lies 500 kilometers north of Moscow and is home to a cluster of facilities owned by Apatit JSC, a subsidiary of PhosAgro Group. It is the largest producer of phosphate-based fertilizer, and phosphoric and sulphuric acids in Europe, and one of the leading producers of NPK fertilizers, ammonia and ammonium nitrate in Russia. The company wanted to replace their old ammonia synthesis column at the ammonia unit No. 1 with a new model that was more energy-efficient. However, the costly 2.5 month shutdown period for the installation process was a major concern. Mammoet and client Apatit worked closely together to devise a creative and comprehensive approach that reduced the installation time by 40% without compromising safety.
