It contains both nitrogen and phosphate production areas, and has a capacity of 0.532 million tons of ammonia, 0.930 million tons of nitric acid and 0.223 million tons of phosphoric acid. It has 139 employees.

The nitrogen area includes an ammonia plant, four nitric acid plants, two ammonium nitrate plants, a urea plant and UAN mixing and storage facilities. The phosphate production area contains sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, superphosphoric acid and polyphosphate plants.
