SBN is today the world market leader in the manufacture of high-quality high-pressure equipment for urea and ammonia synthesis as well as high-quality critical process equipment for the fertilizer, chemical and petrochemical industries. With more than 200 high-quality heat exchangers and reactors delivered for urea and ammonia synthesis since 2000, SBN spearheads the fertilizer industry. We design, manufacture and service a range of sophisticated high-pressure urea and ammonia equipment weighing up to 500 tons and more. Either monowall or multilayer design is used while the materials processed range from low alloy to high alloy steels for both corrosive and high temperature service. Our R&D Department plays a pioneering role in the use of a novel material for urea service to continuously improve our products and to deliver the best possible engineering solution.

At Stamicarbon we develop, design and license futureproof fertilizer plant technologies, with urea and nitric acid being our core businesses. Using almost 75 years of knowledge and experience, we offer our clients customized-solutions and services to maintain, improve and optimize plants in every stage of their lifecycle. We take pride in being innovative and developing reliable, safe and sustainable fertilizer solutions. For example: our Ultra-Low Energy design that reduces energy consumption of urea plants considerably, our MicroMist™ Venturi Scrubbing system that reduces emissions of urea granulation and prilling plants to unrivaled low levels, our digital solutions that achieve real-time insights to maximize efficiency and production, and our Controlled-Release-Fertilizer design that helps farmers to improve crop yields. Next to urea, we design nitric acid plants with maximum energy recovery, reliable operation and minimal greenhouse gas emissions. Besides technologies, we also have developed the best corrosion-resistant duplex stainless steel for high pressure synthesis equipment - “SAFUREX®” and a real-time dynamic training simulator for urea and granulation plants, as well as for the adjacent ammonia, nitric acid and UAN plants. As pioneers with a higher purpose, it is our vision to enable the world to feed itself and improve the quality of life.
