Operations
Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC, located in Coffeyville, Kansas, is the only fertilizer facility in North America
that utilizes a petroleum coke, or pet coke, gasification process to produce nitrogen fertilizer. The plant, which sits on 35 acres,
includes a 1,300-ton-per-day ammonia unit, a 3,100-ton-per-day urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) unit and a gasifier complex having a
capacity of 89 million standard cubic feet per day of hydrogen. Our gasifier is a dual-train facility, with each gasifier able
to function independently of the other, thereby providing redundancy and improving reliability.
The Coffeyville plant enjoys the benefit of a stable and secure raw material supply. The primary raw material feedstock used in
the plant’s nitrogen fertilizer’s production process is pet coke, which is produced during the crude oil refining process. We
currently purchase most of our pet coke from CVR Refining, which owns the Coffeyville refinery adjacent to the fertilizer plant.
East Dubuque Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC, located in East Dubuque, Illinois, uses low-cost, North American natural gas to produce
nitrogen fertilizer. The plant primarily includes a 1,075-ton-per-day ammonia unit and a 950-ton-per-day UAN unit. The facility
is located on a 210-acre, 140-foot bluff above the Mississippi River with access to the river for loading certain products.
The East Dubuque plant has the flexibility to significantly vary its product mix. This enables us to upgrade our ammonia
production into varying amounts of UAN, nitric acid and liquids and granulated urea each season, depending on market demand,
pricing and storage availability.
