CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CF) today announced that its entire
Woodward, Oklahoma, nitrogen complex is off-line due to a problem in one
of the boilers. All of the plants in the complex were safely shut down
with no impact on personnel, the surrounding community or the
environment. The company estimates that it will take approximately 6 to
8 weeks to return the plant to normal operations. During the outage, the
plant will execute the turnaround maintenance activities that had
previously been scheduled for June. The Woodward complex has average
annual production capacity for 480,000 tons of gross ammonia, 820,000
tons of UAN, and 25,000 tons of urea liquor. The company's sales
organization is communicating with customers to work through product
availability and delivery schedule implications.
