Stamicarbon awarded licensing and Process Design Package for a low-carbon fertilizer plant in Canada
Stamicarbon, the nitrogen technology licensor of NEXTCHEM, has been awarded new contracts related to its proprietary NX STAMI Urea™ technology in Canada.
The first award entails the Process Design Package (PDP) and the licensing – the latter being subject to the Final Investment Decision by the client – for an integrated urea and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) production plant currently being developed by Genesis Fertilizers, a farmer-owned consortium, at Belle Plaine (Saskatchewan) in Canada. The plant will have a urea melt capacity of 2,500 metric tons per day (MTPD), with operations expected to begin by 2029. Also thanks to a carbon capture and sequestration unit, it will be the first proposed low-carbon nitrogen fertilizer plant in Canada. Stamicarbon will apply its proprietary Adiabatic Flash urea melt technology, part of NX STAMI Urea™ portfolio, designed to enhance operational efficiency and reliability while minimizing process steam consumption.
The plant will also include a DEF facility with a production capacity of 1,500 MTPD. DEF, also known as AdBlue® in Europe, is a 32.5% high-purity urea solution in deionized water, developed to reduce NOx emissions from diesel engines. Stamicarbon’s DEF production design, part of the NX STAMI Specialties portfolio, enables the direct production of ISO 22241-compliant DEF from aqueous urea solution from any urea plant, ensuring high quality and lower production costs by eliminating finishing and blending.
The second award is related to the supply of a replacement High-Pressure Urea Stripper to Nutrien's Fort Saskatchewan Nitrogen Operations (FNO) in Alberta, Canada. With cutting-edge engineering and advanced materials expertise, this proprietary equipment is designed to enhance operational efficiency while minimizing downtime and ensuring long-term reliability.
"These awards highlight Stamicarbon's leadership in providing efficient urea technology and tailored, high-performance equipment engineered to meet the evolving needs of fertilizer producers," said Pejman Djavdan, CEO of Stamicarbon.
