Casale to license ammonia-urea plant

Casale has signed two contracts with Xin Lian Xin Chemicals Group Co.,Ltd for the implementation of ammonia and urea technologies in the company’s new urea complex in Henan province. Capacities for the two plants will be 2,700 t/d of ammonia and 3,500 t/d of urea. Casale says that the complex will be its first grassroots application of its HYPER-U urea technology; an improved self-stripping process incorporating a medium-high pressure (MHP) decomposition stage which significantly reduces steam and cooling water demand, enhances thermal efficiency, and lowers operational costs while drastically cutting the plant’s carbon footprint. A new Strategic Cooperation Agreement signed between the two companies at the same time highlights the ongoing collaboration between Casale and Xin Lian Xin, which has included eight ammonia synthesis units and three urea plants. Both parties also agreed to establish regular technical exchanges and form joint working teams to ensure the seamless implementation of current and future projects. This structured approach will allow for faster alignment, more agile development, and the ability to promptly respond to market challenges and opportunities.
