Stamicarbon has been selected as the licensor for the NeuRizer Urea Project (NRUP), in Leigh Creek, Australia. This will be the only fully integrated urea production facility in Australia, with all inputs (gas, power and CO2) for low carbon urea production on-site.
Stamicarbon will deliver the Process Design Package (PDP) for the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) for a 2850 mtpd melt and granulation plant. The urea plant will use Stamicarbon’s LAUNCH MELT™ Flash Design for the urea melt plant with a pool reactor and the LAUNCH FINISH™ Granulation Design for the urea granulation plant.
The Flash design is one of Stamicarbon’s variants of melt concepts with improved energy efficiency that leads to a significant reduction in steam consumption. The fluid-bed granulation design is characterized by its low formaldehyde consumption, low dust and ammonia emissions, high product quality, and high on-stream times.
NRUP is a nationally significant project that will deliver low-cost, high-quality nitrogen-based fertilizer ensuring a secure supply for local and export agriculture markets. The decarbonization pathway for the NRUP is embedded in the FEED process to ensure that it is going to be carbon neutral from the first operations in 2025.
