Coffeyville Nitrogen Fertilizer Plant Adjusts Turnaround Dates
COFFEYVILLE, Kan. (Oct. 1, 2010) — Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizers announced today
that it will move up its planned turnaround program at production facilities here
after a rupture occurred in a high-pressure Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) vessel.
A biannual turnaround had been planned to begin on Tuesday, Oct. 5, and run in stages through
Wednesday, Oct. 27. Part of that work will now be pulled forward to minimize impact on production
schedules.
The incident occurred shortly after 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 30. No employees were injured.
Although the incident was heard throughout the area surrounding the plant, no major impacts were
reported beyond the facility’s fence line. The remainder of the plant was brought down in an
orderly fashion subsequent to the rupture. Damage was centered at the UAN facility, but no damage
estimates were immediately available. Early indications suggest that the gasification and ammonia
synthesis plants were not materially impacted.
The adjacent Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing 115,000 barrel per day refinery continues
to operate normally.
Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC, and Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing,
LLC, are subsidiaries of CVR Energy, Inc.
