MAIRE awards ~€50m in STS contracts to Nextchem/Stamicarbon
- Total awards value approximately €50 million for MAIRE’s Sustainable Technology Solutions unit across Asia, Europe and North America.
- Stamicarbon to provide licensing, PDP and proprietary equipment for an ~3,500 MTPD grassroots urea plant in Asia using the Ultra‑Low Energy (ULE) NX STAMI™ Urea design.
- Stamicarbon to supply three high‑pressure urea strippers to SKW Stickstoffwerke Piesteritz in Germany to debottleneck capacity, reduce high‑pressure steam consumption and improve liquid distribution reliability.
- Stamicarbon awarded a PDP for a ~1,150 STPD grassroots urea plant in Canada, and Nextchem won a feasibility study for a 40,000 t/yr NX Replast™ mechanical polyolefin upcycling plant in Türkiye.
Transaction overview
MAIRE’s Sustainable Technology Solutions unit received new awards with an aggregate value of approximately €50 million, covering projects located in Asia, Europe and North America.
Urea project scope
Stamicarbon will provide licensing, Process Design Package (PDP) and proprietary equipment for an around 3,500 metric tons per day (MTPD) grassroots urea plant in Asia based on its Ultra‑Low Energy (ULE) NX STAMI™ Urea design aimed at lowering steam consumption and operating costs. Separately, Stamicarbon will supply three proprietary high‑pressure urea strippers to SKW Stickstoffwerke Piesteritz in Germany; the equipment incorporates advanced design features to debottleneck the plant, reduce high‑pressure steam use and enhance liquid distribution reliability. Stamicarbon was also awarded a PDP contract for a new grassroots urea plant in Canada with an expected capacity of approximately 1,150 short tons per day (STPD) using the LAUNCH MELT™ Conventional Total Recycle technology to support the FEED phase.
Plastic upcycling feasibility
Nextchem won a feasibility study from a Turkish integrated waste management and renewable energy company to design a mechanical plastic upcycling plant in Türkiye. The plant is to be based on Nextchem’s NX Replast™ technology and designed to process 40,000 tonnes per year of mixed polyolefin waste (PP and HDPE), converting purified streams into compounded recycled polymers.
Management comment
Fabio Fritelli, Managing Director of Nextchem, said: "These awards confirm the value of Nextchem’s technology platform and proprietary know‑how, as well as the trust of clients across different geographies in our ability to support the efficiency, reliability and long‑term performance of their industrial assets."
