SnapshotNutrien’s Aurora facility benefits from producing high-value, diversified products and operating an integrated phosphate mining and processing complex.

Phosphate rock is the primary input for processing, with nearly all production used internally to manufacture phosphoric acid, SPA, chemical fertilizers, purified phosphoric acid, and animal feed products. The facility also produces sulfuric acid from purchased sulfur.
