Milan, 1 February 2024 — MAIRE (MAIRE.MI) announces that NEXTCHEM (Sustainable Technology Solutions), through its nitrogen technology licensor Stamicarbon, has been awarded licensing and equipment supply contracts for a urea melt plant in China by Jiangsu Huachang Chemical Co. The plant, to be located in Zhangjiagang (Jiangsu province), will have a capacity of 1,860 MTPD and use Stamicarbon’s Ultra-Low Energy (ULE) design.
The proprietary Ultra-Low Energy Design allows for heat supply in the form of high-pressure steam to be used three times instead of two. This heat recovery scheme results in a 35% reduction in steam consumption and a 16% decrease in cooling water use compared to the traditional CO2 stripping process. With two plants currently in operation, the Ultra-Low Energy design is demonstrating unparalleled energy savings in the market, a result of Stamicarbon’s continuous commitment to innovation and excellence in the urea fertilizer technology.
Jiangsu Huachang (Group) Co. Ltd. is a listed chemical manufacturer focusing on the production of fertilizers.
