Novodzhambul Phosphorus Plant, Taraz.

NDFZ branch is a chemical plant, producing P4 and phosphorus containing products, located 15 km to north-west from Taraz along northern slopes of Ulken-Burul mountain of Malyi Karatau mountain ridge. The total area of the plant is 644,75 hectares.

The enterprise includes the following main units of:

• agglomerate production - three AKM-312 agllomachines;
• P4 production - 1 block of four RKZ-80F-I1 type furnaces each of 80 MW capacity;
• thermal phosphoric acid production – two technological lines;
• STPP production - four technological lines;
• phosphate salts production (potassium tripolyphosphate, sodium-potassium tripolyphosphate, trisodiumphosphate) - two technological lines.
• food grade STPP and food grade phosphoric acid.

For the first time in the world practice the technology of yellow phosphorus production from agglomerated phosphate fines has been implemented at the plant. The branch developed the production of low hydrated STPP. At P4 production the molten products like slag and ferrophosphorus generate in the furnace. The production of 4 grades of ferrophosphorus is organized at the plant, which is widely used in domestic metallurgy and exported to other countries.

P4 and its compounds are widely used in different industries of national economy: in matches industry, in metallurgy - for alloying of cast iron and steel, in  chemical industry - for impregnation of fabrics, plastics, timber - for fire resistance, for production of drilling liquids, tooth paste, different food and pharmaceutical  preparations. The phosphorus compounds are widely used in production of phosphor organic compounds (thiophos, carbophos).

P4 produced at NDFZ branch is awarded with prestigious international prizes for its high quality:

• «Golden Arch» - Association of industrialists and businessmen of Spain;
• «Brilliant Star» - Mexico.

Yellow phosphorus is supplied to the highly competitive markets of Eastern and Western Europe and also to Russia. In the STPP market the company is one of the leading suppliers for all main producers of detergents in Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Iran and Kazakhstan.
