On March 8, Bangladesh's Ghorashal-Polash Urea fertilizer project (GPUFP), undertaken partly by a Chinese company, completed the installation of a carbon dioxide stripping tower, the first super-heavy equipment. The successful installation marks a milestone in the project.
GPUFP is one of the large-scale projects promoted by the Bangladeshi government, and it is also the largest fertilizer factory project in the country at present. GPUFP project manager Mohammad Rajiour Rahman Mollick said that the fertilizer factory, once completed, will produce about 500,000 tons of synthetic ammonia and 800,000 tons of urea annually. The plant will help Bangladesh meet the growing demand for fertilizer and ensure food security. He said that he is very grateful to China as the country is helping Bangladesh's development in all aspects.
