MILAN, Feb. 1 (Class Editori) -- Maire Group's Nextchem (Sustainable Technology Solutions), through its subsidiary Stamicarbon, a nitrogen technology licensor, has been awarded licensing and proprietary component supply contracts for an Ultra-Low Energy urea plant in China by Jiangsu Huachang Chemical, a publicly listed chemical company that specializes in fertilizer production.
The plant, located in Zhangjiagang (Jiangsu Province), will have a capacity of 1,860 tons per day and will employ Stamicarbon's Ultra-Low Energy (ULE) design.
The ULE design allows heat supplied as 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% reduction in cooling water use, compared to the traditional CO2 stripping process. With two plants currently in operation, the ULE solution is demonstrating unprecedented energy savings in the market, showcasing Stamicarbon's ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in urea-based fertilizer technology.
"This project marks the ninth global implementation of our innovative ULE technology, establishing us as a benchmark in the industry for high energy efficiency, further demonstrating the Group's commitment to providing sustainable technological solutions to support customers in their decarbonization plans," Alessandro Bernini, CEO of Maire, explained.
A month ago, Nextchem, another Maire Group subsidiary, announced another significant win in China in the field of sustainable technologies for plastic production. Conser, a licensor of technologies for biodegradable plastics, secured the licensing for the technology and the supply of the catalyst for a larger project in northwestern China from a major client.
The project involves licensing, Conser's Duetto technology's process design package, technical assistance during the project's development, and commissioning and start-up. As part of the agreement, Conser will also supply the hydrogenation catalyst. "The Duetto technology provides a viable solution in terms of CApital EXpenditure (Capex), OPerational EXpenditure (Opex), and energy efficiency for producing in the same process butanediol and dimethyl succinate, the two intermediates required to produce biodegradable polymers," the Group explained in a statement.
