Milan/Italy – Maire has recently announced that Nextchem (Sustainable Technology Solutions), through its subsidiary Stamicarbon, the nitrogen technology licensor, has been awarded the licensing and the Process Design Package (PDP) for the upgrade and expansion of El Delta Company for Fertilizer and Chemical Industries’ urea plant in Talkha, Egypt.

Stamicarbon will provide the license and the PDP to increase the urea plant’s production capacity from 1,725 metric tons per day (MTPD) to 2,250 MTPD by applying its proprietary Ultra-Low Energy Design. This technology, part of the proprietary NX Stami Urea, achieves a 35 % reduction in steam consumption and a 16 % decrease in cooling water use by utilizing high-pressure steam three times instead of twice, resulting in significant energy savings compared to conventional CO2 stripping.
