Stamicarbon has been awarded a licensing and equipment supply contract for two Ultra-Low Energy grassroots urea plants a urea producer in China. Stamicarbon will deliver the Process Design Package and the proprietary high-pressure equipment in Safurex® duplex, and associated services for the urea melt plant and finishing by prilling. The two urea melt plants, each with a capacity of 2334 mtpd and a Pool Reactor, are expected to start-up in mid-2023.
Stamicarbon’s Ultra-Low Energy design allows for heat to be used three times, bringing energy savings to an unprecedentedly low level. It substantially reduces plant operating costs (OPEX) by reducing steam and cooling water consumption. The Ultra-Low can also be used as a powerful revamp tool for both CO2 stripping and conventional urea plants.
