Casale and Paralloy Group have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the recent CRU Nitrogen+Syngas 2026 Conference in Barcelona to jointly commercialise ...

Toyo Engineering Corporation, Stamicarbon and Saipem showcase their state-of-the-art urea technologies.

Continuous monitoring of sulphur recovery units (SRUs) has proven to be an excellent tool for energy optimisation and emissions reduction, yielding financial incentives in the form of CO2 credits and sustainability. Even in markets with limited CO2 credits, significant economic benefits can still be realised through reduction in utility consumption, as demonstrated by a recent collaboration between Worley Comprimo and PRefChem in Malaysia.

Advances in cooling technology are providing fertilizer facilities with new options when it comes to upgrading outdated equipment and improving environmental sustainability of their existing operations. Igor Makarenko of Solex Thermal Science explores cooling strategies to improve operational efficiencies while also reducing their energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and overall carbon footprint.

Artificial intelligence is beginning to extend into all facets of modern life, and the chemical process industry is no exception. This article looks at where and how AI is being applied in the ammonia and downstream industries, what data and infrastructure are required, and the potential risks.

Casale’s integrated revamp solutions for ammonia and urea plants are designed to unlock latent potential and boost operational performance.

Revamping existing urea plants can deliver significant improvements – including higher capacity, lower costs and reduced emissions.

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 […]

Together with Slovnaft, Worley Comprimo has developed a near real-time monitoring dashboard using data sharing via the Cloud. Using a two-year data set containing minute average data, trends and insights were used to optimise performance. This paper describes the main learnings and improvements with respect to energy optimisation, which supports sustainability targets for Slovnaft.

Paralloy has developed Omega technology, an advanced reformer tube design that enhances heat transfer, gas turbulence, and process efficiency. Dr Dominique Flahaut of Paralloy explores the real-world implications of Omega reformer tubes.
