l Sulphur recovery project listing A country-by-country survey of new and planned sulphur recovery
unit projects worldwide.
l New refinery capacity in India India’s refining capacity has risen rapidly over the past few
years, and the country now operates the fourth largest refinery
sector in the world, after the US, China and Russia.
l Sulphuric acid from pyrites In spite of the dominance of sulphuric acid production from
sulphur burning or smelter off-gases, a small proportion of
acid demand continues to come from pyrite roasting, especially
in China.
l Technology options for a new low H2S gas field
development Technip reviews the main outcomes of a conceptual study for
a new gas/condensate field development located in Central
Europe. Different technologies that are generally attractive for
low sulphur capacity, such as liquid redox and biological sulphur
recovery, as well as the alternative route of sulphuric acid
production are presented and discussed.
l Amine system failures Equipment malfunction or unplanned shutdown of an amine
system can have a devastating effect on plant profitability and
an equally serious impact on the environment. This article looks
at how to minimise the chances of catastrophic amine failures.

competition from offshore granulated product, Canada is investing
in sulphur forming capacity to allow it to access other markets.
l Saudi Arabia – beyond oil Saudi Arabia’s attempts to diversify its primarily oil-based
economy are leading to on the one hand extensive new sour gas developments to feed power production away from associated gas, a major new source of sulphur; and on the other hand large new phosphate projects which are large sulphur consumers.
l Maximising sulphuric acid plant profitability Optimisation of plant performance by upgrading the sulphuric
acid plant or changing the strategy for how a plant is operated are proven methods to improve the longer term operating costs of sulphuric acid plants.
l Advanced sulphur pipeline instrumentation A new and unique approach for an automated remelt program
for sulphur pipelines has been developed to safely and reliably heat up solidified sulphur in the pipeline with the requirement for continuous operator assistance.

l Sulphur: the fourth crop nutrient Sulphur is becoming an increasingly important crop nutrient
due to lower sulphur emissions, the prevalence of high-analysis fertilizers and higher cropping intensity. This is opening up opportunities for producers to capitalise on the value of sulphur by supplying sulphate and sulphur-enhanced fertilizers in ever larger volumes.
l Future fertilizer industry leaders The International Fertilizer Association (IFA) held a successful
Future Fertilizer Leaders event at its 2016 annual conference in Moscow. Current industry leaders from Agrium, Uralchem and K+S offered valuable advice to the 130 young professionals who attended. IFA is considering setting up a Fertilizer Academy to help the next generation of industry leaders fulfil their potential.
l The year ahead What will 2017 have in store for the fertilizer sector? We weigh-
up the latest supply and demand forecasts and gauge industry opinion on prospects for the coming year.
l State of the nitrogen market The urea market remains heavily oversupplied with the Black
Sea f.o.b. price falling below $200/t during 2016. Yet China is delaying plant closures due to widespread state ownership, subsidised capital and the continuing availability of cheap coal. We review the key developments that have shaped the global nitrogen market over the last 12 months.
www.fertilizerinternational.com www.bcinsight.com
l Phosphate in Russia Russia mined 12.5 million tonnes of phosphate rock in 2015,
making it the world’s fourth largest producing country behind
China, Morocco and the United States. We profile phosphate
production in Russia and neighbouring countries and examine
its influence on world supply and trade.
l Potash outlook Global potash shipments are currently forecast to climb to
61-63 million tonnes in 2017, up from an estimated 60 million
tonnes last year. Exactly how the potash market will fair this
year depends on the complex interplay between low prices,
rising demand, supply cutbacks and currency depreciation.

l Canola crop nutrition Canola, also known as oilseed rape, is one of world’s three
main oilseed crops. World production, in the region of 70 million
tonnes annually, is concentrated in EU countries, China, Canada
and India, and satisfies around a fifth of global vegetable oil
demand. We report on the vital role fertilizers play in successful
canola cultivation.
l The rise of Gulf sulphur The Gulf region edged ahead of North America as the world’s
leading sulphur-producing region last year. We profile the sulphur-
producing countries and companies of the Arabian Gulf, and look
at the significance of this eastward shift in the sulphur market.
l Prills versus granules: size matters Physical properties, including size, do matter when it comes
to urea finishing. We explore the link between fertilizer product
quality and finishing technology.
l Phosphates 2017 conference preview We look at the current state of the phosphates market in
advance of CRU’s Phosphates 2017 conference in Tampa,
Florida. The price of DAP (Tampa f.o.b.) fell by some 30% during
2015 and 2016, affecting margins and forcing phosphate
producers to focus on operational performance, customer
service and distribution.
l Phosphate process analysers Increasingly sophisticated control of phosphate production is
now possible thanks to the availability of real-time process
analysers. We assess the range of technologies currently on the
market and provide some examples of recent installations.

l China at the crossroads China is the world’s largest producer, consumer and exporter of
urea and finished phosphate products. Yet the country’s fertilizer industry is currently at the crossroads due to its structural oversupply. We report on the outlook for China’s fertilizer sector, particularly the prospects for rationalisation of capacity.
l Advances in fertilizer handling The transportation and distribution of fertilizers by road, rail and
sea relies on safe and efficient bulk handling and storage. We look at the range of currently available equipment and major new investments in fertilizer logistics and distribution.
l Nitrogen projects head east We take a look at new nitrogen capacity being planned in Russia
and the countries of central Asia. The Former Soviet Union remains a regional bright spot for new plant construction, with three million tonnes of extra ammonia capacity expected to come on-stream in Russia alone between 2016 and 2019.
l Best options for phosphorus recycling The recovery of struvite from wastewater treatment plants
has emerged as the leading commercial phosphorus recovery technology in recent years. But other technologies for recovering phosphorus from sewage sludge, manure and industrial waste may become more attractive over the longer term. We weigh-up the pros and cons of various phosphorus recycling options.
l Legacy: a disruptive entrant K+S’s three billion dollar Legacy project, is set to commence
production in the second quarter of 2017. Around 20-30% of Legacy’s output, which could be as much as one million tonnes this year, will target the high-quality industrial potash market. We consider the impact supply from this large-scale project will have in North America, both domestically and in terms of exports.

come under the spotlight in recent years. We look at the different types of trace element deficiency found in soils and their global extent – and the speciality fertilizer products used to tackle this problem.
l Unlocking the African market Improving the supply, trade and distribution of fertilizers holds the
key to unlocking Africa’s massive agricultural potential. Boosting fertilizer demand and increasing fertilizer availability in Africa will require sustained investment and long-term partnerships with the continent’s farmers and agribusiness sector.
l Industry financial scorecard Exactly how profitable was the fertilizer industry last year
and who were the main financial winners and losers? Tough prevailing market conditions undoubtedly made 2016 a testing year for the sector’s major players. We analyse the relative performance of leading fertilizer producers, following the publication of fourth quarter results.
l Advances in sulphuric acid plant design Innovative technologies being developed by Outotec, Noram,
Chemetics and MECS are helping transform the economics of sulphuric acid production. The latest enhancements to the acid production process are outlined.
l Phosphogypsum: co-product not waste? Nearly half the world’s phosphogypsum is currently locked
within Florida’s giant waste stacks, bringing with it a cost burden of around $125 per tonne. Yet phosphogypsum is finding increasing use as a co-product in applications such as roadbed construction and soil conditioning. We examine whether unwanted waste generated by the phosphate industry is on the verge of becoming a valued resource.
l SOP project prospects An increase in the supply of primary SOP could potentially
transform the market for this premium potash fertilizer. We provide a round-up of the most promising greenfield SOP mining projects worldwide.

l Efficient speciality fertilizers Slow-release, controlled-release and stabilised fertilizers occupy
a small but high-value segment of the market, although their production and use is accelerating. This trend is unsurprising given that their higher costs are usually more than offset by better use efficiency and lower application rates. We explore the range of products available and their characteristics.
l US fertilizer industry report The US is the world’s fourth-largest producer of nitrogen fertilizers
and second largest producer and exporter of phosphates globally. The US domestic fertilizer industry generates products worth more than $58 billion and directly employs 80,000 people. With the help of The Fertilizer Institute (TFI), we report on the economic and social benefits of US fertilizer production.
l Small ammonia plants The transport of anhydrous ammonia to nitrogen fertilizer plants
by pipeline, barge, rail and road is a hazardous process that needs to be safely managed. Small-scale, on-site production of ammonia is one alternative that can help reduce both transport risks and costs.
l North American sulphur market briefing The North American sulphur market is likely to be affected by
loss of molten production from idled gas plants and falls in molten imports from Venezuela and Mexico. Mosaic’s sourcing of imported solid sulphur will also have a significant impact in 2017.
Fertilizer International 2017 Editorial Programme
www.fertilizerinternational.com www.bcinsight.com
l Phosphate processing innovation We describe notable advances in phosphate beneficiation.
These include innovations in froth flotation reagents and modifications to the froth flotation process. Novel phosphate processing methods, including high-pressure grinding, deep-cone thickening and gravity separation, are also emerging.
l The Ochoa project: New Mexico’s polyhalite hope IC Potash plans to develop a billion dollar, three million tonne
capacity polyhalite mine at Ochoa in New Mexico. The US corn belt could be a strong direct-application market for this multi-nutrient fertilizer. We profile the Ochoa project and report on its technical and economic feasibility.
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER
Advertisement deadline: 1 November 2017
l Fertilizers for soybean Around 330 million tonnes of soybean are produced globally
every year and processed to yield oil and meal, a major source of animal protein. Its cultivation in countries such as Brazil requires large applications of potash and phosphate. The nutrient needs of this major oilseed crop are reviewed.
l India’s fertilizer industry India’s nutrient consumption of around 27 million tonnes in
2015/16 confirmed its status as a prime fertilizer market. The country plays a particularly pivotal role in the global trade in phosphates. We examine how India satisfies its fertilizer requirements, especially the balance of imports versus domestic production, and the influence of government policy.
l Global nitrogen outlook The completion of a number of nitrogen projects over the
medium-term will add to world capacity. We look at the latest five-year global supply forecast for nitrogen and assess likely changes to the supply overhang and supply/demand balance.
l Who’s who in sulphuric acid revamping Operators will invest in the refurbishment of aging sulphuric acid
plants to improve efficiency, raise output and cut operational costs. We profile leading players in the sulphuric acid revamp market and report on recent references.
l Phosphoric acid process choices Most of the world’s phosphoric acid is produced by the
dihydrate, hemihydrate or hemi-dihydrate process. We investigate the range of process options for new and converted phosphoric acid plants and their relative merits.
l Usolskiy gets ready EuroChem’s $2.9 billion, 3.7million tonne capacity Usolskiy

Conditions of acceptance
These conditions shall apply to all advertisements accepted
for publication. Any other proposed condition shall be void
unless incorporated clearly in written instructions and
specifically accepted by the Publisher.
All advertisements are accepted subject to the Publisher’s
approval of the copy and to the space being available.
If it is intended to include in an advertisement a competition
or a special offer or merchandise, other than that normally
associated with the advertised product, full details must be
submitted at the time of booking.
The Publisher reserves the right to omit or suspend an
advertisement at any time for good reason, in which case
no claim on the part of any Advertiser for damages or
breach of contract shall arise. Should such an omission or
suspension be due to the act or default of the Advertiser
or his servants or agents then the space reserved for the
Advertiser or his servants or agents then the space reserved
for the advertisement shall be paid for in full notwithstanding
that the advertisement has not appeared. Such omission or
suspension shall be notified to the Advertiser as soon as
possible.
If the Publisher considers it necessary to modify the space
or alter the date or position of insertion or make any other
alteration, the Advertiser will have the right to cancel if the
alterations requested are unacceptable, unless such charges
are due to an emergency or circumstances beyond the
Publisher’s control. Every care is taken to avoid mistakes
but the Publisher cannot accept responsibility for any errors
due to third parties, subcontractors or inaccurate copy
instructions.
The Advertiser warrants that the advertisement does not
contravene any Act of Parliament nor is it any other way illegal
or defamatory or an infringement of any other party’s rights or
an infringement of the British Code of Advertising Practice.
The Advertiser will indemnify the Publisher fully in respect
of any claim made against the Publisher arising from the
advertisement. The Publisher will consult with the Advertiser
as to the way in which such claims are to be handled.
Advertisement rates are subject to revision at any time and
orders are accepted on the condition that the price binds the
Publisher only in respect of the next issue to go to press.
In the event of a rate increase, the Advertiser will have the
option to cancel the order without surcharge or continue the
order at the revised advertisement rates.
If an Advertiser cancels the balance of the contract he
relinquishes any right to that series discount to which he was
entitled previously and advertisements will be paid for at the
appropriate rate.
Series discounts apply only to orders placed in advance
and completed within one year of date of first insertion. The
Publishers reserves the right to surcharge in the event of
insertions not being completed within the contractual period.
Credit accounts are strictly net and payment must be received
by the end of the months following date of invoice. Interest
will be payable on all amounts still outstanding after that date
at 1% (one per cent) over Bank of England Minimum Lending
Rate, to be charged monthly.
Charges will be made to the Advertiser or his agent where
extra production work is required owing to acts or defaults of
the Advertiser or his Agent. These charges will be at the rates
agreed prior to publication. Complaints regarding reproduction
of advertisements must be received in writing within one
calendar month of the cover date.
Where the Advertiser has undertaken to supply inserts which
have been accepted and approved by the Publisher, the
Publisher reserves the right to charge the rate agreed if they
fail to arrive at the agreed time and place for insertion.
Cancellation or suspension of an insertion must be received
in writing by the Publisher within one month prior to the copy
closing date.
Copy must be supplied by the Advertiser or his Agent without
application from the Publisher If copy instructions are not
received by agreed “copy date” the Publisher reserves the right
to repeat the most appropriate copy.
For the purpose of these conditions, “Advertiser” shall refer
to the Advertiser or his Agent whichever is the principal.
“Advertisement” shall include loose or other “inset” where
appropriate.
These conditions and all other express terms of the contract
shall be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of
England.
