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.
