NEXTCHEM Secures Two Contracts in China for NX STAMI™ Technologies

Key highlights
  • NEXTCHEM will provide the license and PDP for a new nitric acid plant in China using mono-pressure technology.
  • The nitric acid process uses oxygen instead of air, enhancing energy recovery and reducing costs.
  • A contract was signed to revamp a nitrogen fertilizer complex in Northern China using NX STAMI™ Urea technology.
  • The urea plant upgrade aims to reduce steam consumption and improve energy efficiency.

New Nitric Acid Plant

NEXTCHEM will provide the license and process design package (PDP) for a new nitric acid plant in China. The project will utilize Stamicarbon’s mono-pressure technology, which uses oxygen instead of air as feed, enabling high energy recovery and low operational costs. This technology is part of the NX STAMI™ Nitrates series and is crucial for efficient, low-emission fertilizer production.

Revamping Urea Plant

NEXTCHEM has also signed a contract to revamp an existing nitrogen fertilizer complex in Northern China. The project will upgrade the urea plant using NX STAMI™ Urea technology, aiming to significantly reduce steam consumption and improve energy efficiency. This upgrade will optimize both capital and operational expenditures.
