CVR Partners

About CVR Partners (adapted from CVR Partners prospectus):
CVR Partners is a Delaware limited partnership formed by CVR Energy to own, operate and grow nitrogen fertilizer business. Strategically located adjacent to CVR Energy's refinery in Coffeyville, Kansas, their nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing facility is the only operation in North America that utilizes a petroleum coke, or pet coke, gasification process to produce nitrogen fertilizer. CVR Partners' facility includes a 1,225 ton-per-day ammonia unit, a 2,025 ton-per-day urea ammonium nitrate, or UAN, unit, and a gasifier complex having a capacity of 84 million standard cubic feet per day. Their gasifier is a dual-train facility, with each gasifier able to function independently of the other, thereby providing redundancy and improving our reliability. CVR Partners upgrades a majority of the ammonia they produce to higher margin UAN fertilizer, an aqueous solution of urea and ammonium nitrate which has historically commanded a premium price over ammonia. In 2009, CVR Partners produced 435,184 tons of ammonia, of which approximately 64% was upgraded into 677,739 tons of UAN.
