Plant corrosion inspections

Plant corrosion inspections are a valuable tool to assess the condition of a urea plant. Remaining lifetime of tubes, lining and equipment can be determined if a history of measurements and operation is present.
Through many years of experience, Stamicarbon can predict the remaining lifetime of the existing equipment.

Procurement services for High Pressure equipment

For replacement of HP equipment, Stamicarbon supports the customer in making a tailor made vessel incorporating latest design features. The ultimate goal is to have a defect free vessel to avoid any unscheduled shutdown during operations. These services are part of Stamicarbon's Procurement Services for high pressure equipment.

Improve Equipment Reliability System

Improve Equipment Reliability System is a tool that Stamicarbon offers for optimizing inspection activities based on a criticality rating of items of equipment. Criticality is a combination of the failure probability and the effects of failure. The effects of failure may refer to both the economic consequences, such as plant outage and repairs, as well as safety, health and environmental effects, such as injuries and pollution. Of course, items of equipment with a high criticality ranking call for more attention than those with a low criticality ranking. Thus, maintenance can be prioritized on the basis of the rankings.

Relining of HP urea equipment

Operating urea equipment over many years leads to thinning of the alloy protection. This reduction in liner wall thickness should not mean automatically the end of the lifetime. In situ relining may extend the lifetime of the equipment again for many years. To allow an optimum repair with respect to quality, timing and down time of the urea plant it is important to make a good game plan and preparations should already be done prior to the turn around. Stamicarbon has been involved in numerous successful relining jobs.

SAFUREX®

Safurex is one of Stamicarbon's recent innovations, which offers many advantages such as:

  • No active corrosion in low oxygen environment
  • Stronger than conventional materials
  • Well proven
  • Superior resistance against erosion/corrosion.
  • Less sensitive for condensation corrosion
  • Less sensitive for crevice corrosion
