Description of the project activity:

The project activity entails installation of a secondary catalyst in the ammonia reactors of one of the two nitric acid production units of fertilizer plant of Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers (hereafter referred as “RCF”) in India. The project activity would help in catalytic reduction of N2O which is an undesirable by product of nitric acid production process and so emission reductions of it. N2O is potent greenhouse gas with a very high global warming potential of 310.

RCF is a public sector undertaking of Government of India. It is one of the leading producers of fertilizer in the country. The fertilizer production facility of RCF is located in Trombay near Mumbai in the state of Maharashtra. The two units are Medium Pressure unit at 5-6 bar and High Pressure unit at 7-8 bar respectively. The project activity is based in the High Pressure Nitric acid unit of the fertilizer plant of RCF. Similar activity in the other unit is being proposed as a separate CDM project by RCF.
