Xinjiang Aofu Chemical Company (Kuqa Muyang Chemical Co., Ltd.) plans to use the synthetic ammonia and urea production facility that has been shut down by Chitianhua to build a plant in Kuqa, Xinjiang, capable of producing 300,000 tons of synthetic ammonia and 500,000 tons of urea. The synthetic ammonia and urea production plant of Chitianhua was built in the 1970s by utilizing technology provided by the American company Kellogg and the Dutch company Continental; it uses natural gas as raw material and has an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons of synthetic ammonia and 480,000 tons of urea.
