NEXTCHEM (MAIRE) awarded process design package to upgrade urea plant in China
- NEXTCHEM’s NX Stami Urea™ technology will allow a steam consumption reduction of the urea plant of 15%, providing an energy-efficient solution and increased production capacity by about 26%
MAIRE has announced that NEXTCHEM, through its subsidiary Stamicarbon, the nitrogen fertilizer technology licensor, has been selected to provide the process design package to upgrade the Hulunbeier New Gold Chemical Co. Ltd.’s urea plant in Hulunbuir (China), leveraging on its proprietary NX STAMI Urea™ technology.
NEXTCHEM will integrate its proprietary EVOLVE MELT MP Flash design, part of the NX STAMI Urea™ portfolio, to enhance operational efficiency and reliability while minimizing process steam consumption. Following the upgrade, the plant's capacity will be increased by about 26% to 3,600 metric tpd, with an expected high-pressure steam reduction of 15%, confirming the effectiveness of NEXTCHEM’s technology proposition in providing energy-efficient solutions for the nitrogen industry.
Alessandro Bernini, CEO of MAIRE, stated: “This project strengthens our technological presence in China, a major and rapidly growing market, and reinforces our position as the global leader in innovative solutions for the nitrogen fertilizer industry.”
