The liquid ammonia storage expansion for Agropolychim was developed at the company's production complex in Devnya. IPA - Architecture and more designed the new facility as part of its work in industrial buildings, focusing on its integration with the existing production infrastructure and the safe operation of the overall complex.
The main design challenge was integrating the new tank with the existing facility, which had been constructed nine years earlier. This connection required a high level of precision in the engineering design so that the new and existing systems could operate as one installation while maintaining the required level of safety and reliability.
The expansion increases the available liquid ammonia storage volume, supporting both Agropolychim's core production processes and deliveries to external users. Following completion, the installation operates at double its previous capacity.
As part of the project, IPA developed a detailed BIM model to provide a structured digital basis for the future management and maintenance of the facility. For complex industrial infrastructure, this type of information model supports the long-term tracking and management of building and system data.
The new tank has a diameter of 37 m and weighs more than 150 t. The project integrates the new structure with the existing infrastructure of the production complex while increasing storage capacity within a continuously operating industrial system.
