Gibson Island
Gibson Island makes up one half of IPL’s Brisbane Operations, the other being its
Pinkenba site. Between the two, it runs two Product Distribution Centre’s (PDC’S)
and manufacturing plants.
Our Brisbane manufacturing plants produce ammonia, urea, CO2 as well as
granulated products.
Gibson Island is also the headquarters of our Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific business.
Gibson Island PDC despatches approximately 550,000 tonnes of fertilisers each year for
Incitec Pivot Fertilisers’ customers.
The Gibson Island urea plant is the only high pressure urea plant operating in the world,
with reactor pressure of 450 atmospheres.
The site also has a 160tpd Liquid Carbon Dioxide Plant that supplies half the liquid CO2
in Queensland and is the main source for CO2 in carbonated soft drinks in Qld and
northern NSW.
There are approximately 400 employees working between the Gibson Island and Pinkenba
sites. Dyno Nobel Asia Pacific employs approximately 45 people at Gibson Island.
