Technip was awarded by The Mosaic Company the front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract, as well as preparation of the corresponding engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) proposal, for a new ammonia plant under consideration by the global crop nutrient company. Mosaic's preference is to locate the proposed plant adjacent to the company's existing Faustina fertilizer manufacturing operations in St. James Parish, Louisiana.

It would have a capacity of 2,200 metric tons per day. The proposed design of the plant would feature Haldor Tops e' proprietary ammonia process technology that Technip has successfully engineered and constructed in projects for more than 40 years. Technip will also perform the preliminary design work for the plant offsites, utilities, interconnections, and other supporting units for the facility.
