Flares in urea plants are designed to improve the site’s safety performance by capturing and burning ammonia emissions from safety release points. This will prevent/reduce ammonia emissions from entering the environment and in turn reduce ammonia risks. Flares are becoming more common in new urea plants, but are they the optimum solution to improve safety and reduce environmental risks?
The €200 million project was officially opened on 7th September in an inauguration ceremony at Sluiskil in the Netherlands attended by the Norwegian and Dutch prime ministers.
Retrofitting liquid sulphur treating into existing sulphur recovery units can significantly improve safety by reducing hydrogen sulphide in sulphur storage and handling, while also lowering the risk of toxic exposure and explosions. Worley Comprimo reviews proven treating technologies and retrofit options that can be implemented with minimal disruption to existing operations.
HUGO PETERSEN marks 120 years of sulphuric acid innovation, showcasing integrated, low-emission technologies that maximise heat recovery, energy utilisation and operational flexibility across sulphuric acid and sulphur dioxide production.
The NX Stami™ Nitrates Total Recycle concept is a major step forward in nitric acid technology, as Paz Muñoz of Stamicarbon (Nextchem) explains.
ERM and Systemiq, in collaboration with the International Fertilizer Association (IFA), have developed a roadmap on phosphate and potash decarbonisation.
