Held from 21 to 24 February 2011 in Dusseldorf, Germany, the Nitrogen+Syngas show (Organisers: CRU Events) again proved to be a real draw for the fertilizer industry. (For info: the official website is: www.nitrogensyngas.com)
Around 400 delegates took part in the strong conference, which started with several excellent position papers before moving on the main business: technically-focused presentations. Many of these were of direct interest to the Stainless Steel World community. The parallel exhibition was also well attended, with the 35 standholders being kept especially busy during the conference breaks and networking sessions.
Stainless Steel World sent along an editorial team with the clear goal of talking to as many presenters and exhibitors as possible. Many of those meetings have been captured on video, so to find out the latest info on this flourishing sector please check out the interviews below!
Alloys for nitric acid
Gemaco’s Jean-Marc Sluyters gave a presentation on alloys for use in nitric acid plants during the 2011 Nitrogen+Syngas conference held in Dusseldorf, Germany.

New alloys can mean lower wall thicknesses in reformer tubes.
Hugues Chasselin looks at how the reformer industry is evolving and the response from suppliers. Manoir Industries, for example, has a new generation of alloys for primary reformers than enable the specification of lower wall thicknesses.

Fertiliser plant alloys
The fertilizer industry is a “heavy and steady” user of a range of sophisticated alloys. Hermann Kernberger (CEO/Commercial Manager at Schoeller-Bleckmann Nitec) explains why care is needed during fabrication.

Metal dusting – there is a solution
During the 2011 Nitrogen+Syngas Conference, Sumitomo’s Hidenori Ogawa gave an excellent presentation on the causes and prevention of a phenomena called metal dusting. Sumitomo has developed a new alloy which can be used to prevent metal dusting.
