Ukraine’s largest nitrogen fertilizer producer, Dmytro Firtash’s Ostchem Holding, released a statement yesterday saying the company follows “international standards” for safety and production. “Important point: the most dangerous is not so much production as storage of so-called of bulk ammonium nitrate,” says the press release. “Almost 95% of ammonium nitrate at our plants is stored separately in hermetically packed special soft containers made of polypropylene fabric big bags, which significantly reduces its explosiveness.”
