Sandvik to promote Safurex range at Nitrogen + Syngas 2019

Sandvik is one of the leading sponsors of the event, which includes sponsorship of the hotel key cards and the conference WiFi provision, which can be accessed with a special Safurex password.

In addition, Barinder Ghai, Regional Technical Marketing Manager EMEA, Application Products for Sandvik will be speaking at the conference on the importance of pigtail materials in steam reforming. This is part of an overall session on construction materials on 7 March with Barinder presenting at 9.30 – 10am.

Safurex Star is an advanced alloy for use with high pressure (HP) strippers, developed by Sandvik in collaboration with Stamicarbon BV for improving the performance of heat exchanger tubing in challenging urea production environments. It is a super-duplex steel for improved corrosion resistance in heat exchanger tubes that operate at high pressures and temperatures. It also has enhanced mechanical properties which help lower plant investment costs. Safurex is exclusively used in plants licensed by Stamicarbon.

The commercial synthesis of urea takes place globally with hundreds of millions of tonnes produced each year. Its uses include nitrogen-release fertilizer in agriculture and chemical processes. Urea is also applied in vehicles to combat nitrogen oxide emissions and other industries like, medicine and cosmetics manufacture.

Oscar Johansson, Global Product Manager Heat Exchanger & Fertiliser Tubing within Sandvik, said: “We can see that there is a great need for urea, especially related to the growing population in the world. A lot of new urea plants are being built, particularly in China and India to meet up with the expected future need.”

Christoph Bradter, Field Sales Manager, Sales & Technical Marketing, Tubular Products for Sandvik, said: “We’re all looking forward to the Nitrogen & Syngas event which this year is taking place in Berlin. Our Safurex brand is well known in the industry as providing the solution for use in urea production and we now have a new exciting product, Safurex Star.

“It is also great to see Barinder Ghai speaking at the event. Barinder is renowned for his level of knowledge and expertise and we’re sure his presentation will prove to be both enlightening and useful for delegates.”

At booth Number 35, Sandvik will be focusing on its combination of knowledge, expertise and product excellence. The team will be on hand throughout the event to discuss the many features and benefits of Sandvik products, as well as helping customers solve any specific corrosion issues they may have.
