MAIRE books new urea licence in €1.3bn project wave

MAIRE has announced fresh awards and scope additions worth about €1.3 billion ($1.4 billion), including a new urea licensing package that reinforces its fertilizer technology pipeline. The projects span Asia, Europe and the Americas across its Integrated E&C Solutions (IE&CS) and Sustainable Technology Solutions (STS) business units.

Within STS, Stamicarbon – Nextchem’s licensing subsidiary – has been selected to provide licensing and the process design package for a urea plant. MAIRE said the project will use Nextchem’s proprietary know-how and “advanced process solutions to support clients improving efficiency and reliability across the fertilizers value chain,” positioning the award squarely in the premium technology segment for nitrogen producers.
