Casale wins melamine contract

Casale has been awarded a contract to supply melamine technology by Anhui Haoyuan Chemical Group. The new melamine plant will feature Casale’s uLEM-N technology, with a design capacity of 60,000 t/a, and will be fully integrated into an urea plant operated by Anhui Haoyuan. This is the third project that the two companies have developed together, following the successful implementation of two 1,500 t/a ammonia synthesis loop plants based on Casale’s N-LOOP™ technology.

Casale says that its uLEM-N melamine process introduces a significant shift in sustainable design by eliminating caustic soda usage entirely, thanks to ammonia-based purification, and features a highly efficient and proven high-pressure synthesis section using proven urea-based off-gas scrubbing. It operates with a zero liquid discharge approach, and integrates simply with urea plants, reducing capex.

Casale has also recently noted the successful conclusion of performance tests by the new 1,200 t/d coal-based ammonia plant owned and operated by Jiangsu Debang Xinghua Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., located in China’s Jiangsu Province. Commissioned in June 2024, the plant features Casale’s proprietary ammonia synthesis loop, which has reached 110% of capacity shortly after start-up and operated stably at 130% load for extended periods, with no bottlenecks encountered in the synthesis loop.

“We are extremely proud of the trust placed in us by Jiangsu Debang Xinghua Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. and pleased to see our technology making a real difference in performance. This achievement underscores our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that help our customers meet and exceed their production targets” said Casale CEO, Federico Zardi.
