Why smart refiners and chemical producers are revamping now
Topsoe looks at what typically triggers a revamp, how plants build a robust business case, where technology advances can deliver meaningful gains, and how to secure a successful revamp project.
Revamp pathway for incremental ATR methanol capacity
In this study Kinetics Process Improvements (KPI) demonstrates that controlled ethane co-feeding combined with intermediate methanol condensation in the synthesis loop provides a practical, low capital, low-risk revamp strategy to increase ATR methanol plant capacity by approximately 5% while remaining fully within existing equipment, metallurgical, and compression limits.
Massive CASALE converter installed at Koch Beatrice
A huge CASALE converter has been installed at Koch's Beatrice, Nebraska, fertilizer plant, after completing a mammoth 6,000-mile journey.
Contract awarded for nitric acid plant
NextChem has also announced that its nitrogen technology licensing division Stamicarbon, has been a licensing contract and the project development process for a new nitric acid plant in China. The project entails the application of Stamicarbon’s state-of-the-art mono-pressure technology, part of NX STAMI™ Nitrates series, which uses oxygen instead of air as feed for the process, enabling high energy recovery and low operational costs. NextChem says that the award builds on the Group’s longstanding expertise in nitrogen technologies and reflects its commitment to industrialising efficient, low-emission solutions for the agricultural supply chains.
