Written by Natalie Noor-Drugan
MAIRE’s technology arm NEXTCHEM has secured its largest contract to date, a €485 million ($563 million) package to license technologies, deliver process design packages and supply critical proprietary equipment for three world‑scale nitrogen and methanol complexes in West Africa, although the client has not been disclosed and is currently unknown. The deal, which is subject to a final investment decision (FID) except for engineering work already under way, will see NEXTCHEM deploy its proprietary NX AdWinHydrogen®, NX AdWin® Combined, NX STAMI™ Ammonia and NX STAMI™ Urea technologies across multiple sites.
