Set to take centre stage at the Sandvik booth at this year’s Nitrogen + Syngas conference and exhibition, is the renowned SAFUREX® brand. The range has now been expanded to include, SAFUREX® Star* which will be on show for the duration of the event.
SAFUREX® Star* is an advanced alloy for use with high pressure (HP) strippers, developed by Sandvik in collaboration with Stamicarbon BV for improving the performance of heat exchanger tubing in challenging urea production environments. It is a super-duplex steel for improved corrosion resistance in heat exchanger tubes that operate at high pressures and temperatures. It also has enhanced mechanical properties which help lower plant investment costs. SAFUREX® is exclusively used in plants licensed by Stamicarbon.
The commercial synthesis of urea takes place globally with hundreds of millions of tonnes produced each year. Its uses include nitrogen-release fertilizer in agriculture and chemical processes. Urea is also applied in vehicles to combat nitrogen oxide emissions and other industries like, medicine and cosmetics manufacture.
Sandvik will be focusing on its combination of knowledge, expertise and product excellence. The team will be on hand throughout the event to discuss the many features and benefits of Sandvik products, as well as helping customers solve any specific corrosion issues they may have.
