A timely replacement of the right spare part

The Challenge 

Active corrosion of stainless steels caused by ammonium carbamate is a major challenge urea plant operators face every day. Even a small part of the equipment, when exposed to corrosion, could disrupt the seamless operations of your plant, requiring a quick repair or replacement of the damaged item. 

But what if you could eliminate or significantly reduce the risk of corrosion in the high-pressure synthesis section of the urea plant?     

The Solution: Safurex^® 

Safurex^® is a family of super duplex stainless steels designed by Stamicarbon and Alleima to address the challenges of the high-pressure synthesis section of urea plants. Its superior mechanical properties, active corrosion resistance and improved weldability make Safurex^® the perfect material for high-pressure equipment and parts. 

Spare parts from Safurex^® help to eliminate or extremely lower the risk of the main corrosion issues for reduced maintenance and a longer plant lifetime.

Each component of the system plays a crucial role in optimizing plant operations. If a part of your high-pressure equipment is manufactured from a material other than Safurex^®, it could require more frequent maintenance, thus increasing your operational costs.  

We provide the following Safurex^® parts: 

• Raw materials (tubes, plates and bars)
• Intermediate products (flanges, fittings, piping, gasket and valves)
• Components (nozzles, bolts and nuts)
• Welding consumables (plates and wires)
• Other proprietary equipment or components

Not sure whether your damaged component can be considered a spare part? Our sales team will help evaluate your request and design a customized solution based on your needs.
