Stamicarbon (MAIRE) to supply tertiary abatement system for Soluciones Químicas’ nitric acid plant in Mexico
Sittard, The Netherlands — Stamicarbon, the nitrogen technology licensor of NEXTCHEM (MAIRE Group), has signed a contract to provide a license and Process Design Package (PDP) for a tertiary abatement unit to be installed at Soluciones Químicas' nitric acid plant in Minatitlán, Veracruz, Mexico.
Stamicarbon will apply its proprietary tertiary abatement technology, a highly efficient system designed to reduce emissions from nitric acid plants. This technology not only helps to comply with strict environmental regulations but also contributes to global efforts to mitigate climate change by reducing the carbon footprint of nitric acid production.
"Stamicarbon is proud to be part of this project, implementing technology for sustainable fertilizer production," says Pejman Djavdan, CEO of Stamicarbon. "This initiative underscores our commitment to providing advanced solutions that drive environmental stewardship in the fertilizer industry."
Tertiary abatement technology, which is part of NX STAMI Nitrates™ portfolio, will be used to provide a tailor-made solution to remove nitrous oxide (N2O) from the tail gas stream, bringing the plant’s environmental status up to current emission regulations.
Tertiary Abatement Technology
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) and nitrous oxide (N2O), contained in the off-gas from nitric acid production, are harmful to the environment and contribute to acid rain, the greenhouse effect, and ozone layer depletion.
Stamicarbon's solution, applicable to both new and existing plants, is a tertiary abatement system featuring a high-temperature reactor with Fe-zeolite catalysts. This proprietary technology is designed to efficiently remove both N2O and NOx in a single unit, meeting today's strict emission standards while optimizing capital investment and operational efficiency.
Leveraging decades of experience in nitric acid technology, Stamicarbon can design reliable, tailor-made tertiary abatement system for every type of nitric acid plant technology, process conditions, and emission requirements.
