Lange-Stegmann: Fertile Ground

The St. Louis Urea Center has a storage capacity of 63,000 tons of urea and the ability to turn inventory four times per month.

The St. Louis Urea Center is serviced directly by several railroads, including the Burlington Northern Santa Fe.

For transporting the urea moving through its warehouse, Lange-Stegmann relies on front-end loaders.

The Lange-Stegmann complex is located on the Mississippi River. The Urea Center can transfer as many as four barges of urea daily to the warehouse.

The St. Louis Urea Center is part of Lange-Stegmann's $20 million expansion project at the site. The total facility includes a granulation production center, the Stabilized Nitrogen Center, and urea storage warehouse.

The Stabilized Nitrogen Center is expected to produce 125,000 tons of product annually. This is made using a falling curtain granulation porocess using feed urea, which allows the finished products to be manufactured to a specific size for customers.
