MAIRE has announced that NEXTCHEM, through its nitrogen technology licensor Stamicarbon, has been awarded licensing, process design package (PDP), and proprietary equipment supply based on its proprietary NX STAMI Urea™ technology, for a new urea plant in Eastern China by a prominent fertilizer producer.
The plant, with a capacity of 2,700 metric tons per day, will adopt Stamicarbon’s Ultra-Low Energy design. This solution, part of the proprietary NX STAMI Urea™ series, enables a 35% reduction in steam consumption and a 16% decrease in cooling water usage compared to conventional methods, thanks to innovative high-pressure steam utilization and advanced pool reactor design. The process also ensures very low biuret content in the final product and high-quality prills, thanks to Stamicarbon’s prilling tower design.
Key equipment, including the pool reactor and stripper, will feature E-type super duplex stainless steel, leveraging Stamicarbon’s expertise in material science and industrial applications.
