Stamicarbon to revamp Hulunbuir urea plant

NextChem subsidiary Stamicarbon has been selected to provide the process design package to upgrade the Hulunbuir New Gold Chemical Co., Ltd.’s urea plant in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, using its proprietary NX STAMI UreaTM technology. The upgrade will integrate Stamicarbon’s EVOLVE MELT MP flash design to enhance operational efficiency and reliability while minimizing process steam consumption. Following the upgrade, the plant’s capacity will be increased by about 26% to 3,600 t/d, with an expected high-pressure steam reduction of 15%.

Alessandro Bernini, CEO of MAIRE, said: “This project strengthens our technological presence in China, a major and rapidly growing market, and reinforces our position as the global leader in innovative solutions for the nitrogen fertilizer industry.”
