MAIRE (MAIRE.MI) announces that NEXTCHEM (Sustainable Technology Solutions), through its subsidiary Stamicarbon, the nitrogen technology licensor, has been awarded the licensing and the Process Design Package (PDP) for the upgrade and expansion of El Delta Company for Fertilizer and Chemical Industries’ urea plant in Talkha, Egypt.
Stamicarbon will provide the license and the PDP to increase the urea plant’s production capacity from 1725 tpd to 2250 tpd by applying its proprietary Ultra-Low Energy Design. This technology, part of the proprietary NX Stami Urea™, achieves a 35% reduction in steam consumption and a 16% decrease in cooling water use by utilising high-pressure steam three times instead of twice, resulting in significant energy savings compared to conventional CO2 stripping.
The contract also includes the license and design of a new urea granulation unit with a capacity of 2250 tpd.
Alessandro Bernini, CEO of MAIRE, commented: “We are proud to help support the growing demand for fertilisers in Egypt with our solutions. This award further consolidates our global market leadership in the licensing of urea technology and demonstrates the reliability of our value proposition in this segment.”
