    Stamicarbon to revamp urea plant

    Hulunbeier New Gold Chemical Co has selected Stamicarbon to revamp a urea plant in Hulunbuir, northeastern Inner Mongolia.

    Stamicarbon will integrate its proprietary EVOLVE MELT MP Flash design, part of the company’s NX STAMI Urea portfolio, at the plant as part of its revamp. This upgrade will increase the plant’s urea production capacity by about 26% – to 3,600 t/d – while reducing high-pressure steam use by 15%.

    Pejman Djavdan, Stamicarbon’s CEO, said: “This project reflects our commitment to innovation and sustainability. By leveraging our knowledge and expertise, we aim to help the industry meet its growing demand for higher efficiency and reduced environmental impact.”
