Overview
Nutrients play a critical role in the production of safe and abundant food, replenishing our soils and minimizing destruction of wildlife habitat. Agrium is working to ensure nutrients contribute to a more sustainable world. The Fort Saskatchewan facility produces 465,000 gross tonnes (192,000 net) of anhydrous ammonia and 430,000 tonnes of granular urea and 95,000 tonnes of 29% ammonia. Water, air and natural gas are the raw materials required to produce these products. Water is obtained from the adjacent North Saskatchewan River and natural gas is purchased from Alberta producers. The Agrium Fort Saskatchewan plant occupies 227 hectares of land. The actual production facilities occupy less than one-tenth of the land area. The remainder is used as a buffer zone between the site and the City of Fort Saskatchewan.
