Mosaic Faustina Plant, Louisiana

The Mosaic Company’s Faustina Plant in Louisiana is one of the largest ammonia plants in the country. It produces ammonia for ammonium phosphate fertilizers (the P of NPK), and is fed by a stream of phosphoric acid which comes to it, via pipeline, from another Mosaic plant across the river. Mosaic’s Faustina Plant is next to CF’s Nitrogen Donaldsonville Complex, the largest production site for nitrogen in the USA. Much of the liquid ammonia produced at the Faustina Plant is shipped to central Florida, where Mosaic operates the largest phosphate fertilizer production area in the nation. This is just one of several major plants operated by Mosaic, a company that dominates phosphate production even more than CF dominates nitrogen.
