Stamicarbon BV, part of Maire Tecnimont Group and Jiujiang Xinlianxin Fertilizer Co Ltd (XLX), have signed contracts for the licensing of technology and for the delivery of proprietary equipment for a new ultra-low energy urea plant to be built in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, China.
This grass root project follows a smaller revamp project between the parties in 2016.
The scope of the project comprises the license, the process design package (PDP), the delivery of proprietary high-pressure equipment in Safurex and associated services for both the urea melt plant and the finishing by prilling.
The urea plant is based on Stamicarbon's LAUNCH MELT ultra-low energy design with a pool reactor. Plant start-up is planned for the end of 2020.
This new technology is an important innovation in energy efficiency. Not only does it lead to a very significant reduction in energy cost of a urea plant and therefore in OPEX, it also reduces the carbon footprint substantially in comparison with other types of urea plants.
