Professor
Weitkamp
Jens Weitkamp, one of our most active contributors as a member of the team of News Brief correspondents, is to be congratulated on his appointment as Professor of Chemical Technology at the University of Oldenburg. He moves there from the University of Karlsruhe where he had built up a very active research group. We offer him our congratulations and wish him well in his new surroundings.
ICI's New Ammonia
Plants
ICI has announced that it is to brild two new ammonia plants at its fertiliser factory at Severnside near Bristol at a cost of i6C million. These will together produce 300,000 tonnes of ammonia per
am-m-
year using novel ICI technology which, it is claimed, will considerably reduce the cost of ammonia in the U.K. It is claimed that the new technology is based on a "combination of catalysis research, process development and plant operating In combination with the experience". plant construction, due to be complete in midd1988, the company is involved in the construction of 63 million of catalyst plant at its Billingham and Clitheroe factories. Simultaneously with that this announcement, ICI announced the first plant using the advanced (AMV) technology has been in operation in Ontario, since Courtright, Canada, August 1985. Startup was rapid and ammonia was produced within 43 hours of introduction of feedstock.
