Ukrainian fertilizer firm Ostchem will resume calcium nitrate (CAN) production at its Rivneazot plant in November, after it was forced to shut in August.
The closure allowed for maintenance and reconstruction of several units — including the energy supply system — Rivneazot chairman Mikhail Zabluda said.
The CAN line is now back at capacity, Zabluda said, running at 38,000 t/month.
Rivneazot AN production restarted earlier this month.
AN and CAN production was halted following damage to the region's energy infrastructure from shelling, according to Zabluda.
Rivneazot, in northwest Ukraine, is producing 40,000 t/month of AN and also running its 650 t/d ammonia line and 1,000 t/d nitric acid unit.
