Daewoo E & C Nigeria Limited, was awarded Indorama Fertilizer Train 3 Contract in Nigeria on 25 June 2023; Daewoo will construct Indorama's Fertilizer third train in addition to its existing urea fertilizer plant 1 & 2 complex. Daewoo has built Indorama's first and second trains successfully in a timely and professional manner, which led to award of this new contract.

 
Indorama and its stakeholders having been satisfied with the excellent and professional project delivery from Daewoo E & C Nigeria Limited, have commenced the building of a third urea fertilizer Plant, known as Train 3, at the same site in Eleme, Rivers State, Nigeria. 

The Train 3 project is designed to build upon the technologies and knowledge gained from the development and operation of Train 1 and Train 2, featuring similar technology and capacity. The creation of the Indorama’s Fertilizer Plant Train 3 will raise the present urea production capacity from 2.8 MMTPA to 4.2 MMTPA. The Train 3 plant will contain a 2,300 Metric Tons Per Day (MTPD) capacity for ammonia, a 4,000 MTPD urea facility, steam, cooling tower, water treatment, product handling, power, nitrogen, plant air and instrument air, passive and active firefighting systems, along with product storage and material handling facilities.

In addition, the expansion of production facilities will result in an estimated surplus of 400 MTPD of ammonia. To facilitate exports of fertilizer and ammonia, the project also encompasses the construction of a dedicated jetty, named Train 3 Jetty. Positioned approximately 20 kilometers from the production site, at the Onne Port Complex, this planned jetty will expand Indorama’s existing export infrastructure capacity by providing necessary storage and export capabilities for the surplus ammonia and bulk urea produced by Train 3.

The Indorama complex, the site of the Train 3 implementation, features state-of-the-art facilities such as a captive gas fired power unit, utilities, an effluent treatment plant, storage tanks, bagging, a warehouse, and other supporting facilities. The project site, located within a wider industrial complex, neighbors six communities, comprising a population of around 62,000 residents.

The projected construction cost of Train 3 and the Train 3 Jetty is US$1.250 billion. The proposed construction period is three years for Line 3, and two years for the jetty.
