Ensuring reliability and long lifetime of the most critical equipment The Challenge Reliable and durable high-pressure (HP) equipment is critical for successful urea production. However, being exposed to highly corrosive ammonium carbamate at high temperatures and pressure puts stress on your HP equipment. As a result, equipment failures can severely interrupt plant operations and even cause serious safety risks and fatal accidents.  These risks, however, can be prevented with a proper inspection program …

Inspection Services Making sure your equipment and piping are safe, reliable and always available The Challenge Although urea equipment is designed for a long lifetime of 20 years on average, the lifetime of a specific vessel is determined by its corrosion resistance. Carbamate corrosion can compromise the integrity of equipment and piping, and it can lead to a catastrophic failure in the plant if regular inspections and maintenance do not occur. Reliable and durable equipment and piping are essential to …

Achieve superior urea reactor lifetime with E-type material   The Challenges Urea Reactor lifetime differs substantially between different technology concepts. To ensure a superior lifetime of the urea reactor in both Stamicarbon and non-Stamicarbon plants, we design urea reactors with equipment made of E-type material . A thinner liner made of E-type material provides a significantly longer expected lifetime of the urea reactor compared to thicker austenitic stainless steel liner materials. Below, you can …

The lifetime assessment of piping for plant safety The Challenge Statistically, failures of high-pressure (HP) piping in chemical plants are more likely to occur compared to failures of HP equipment. This is caused by more frequent periodic or condition-based equipment inspections than piping inspections due to the challenges related to executing the latter. There are kilometers of piping spread across a plant, which can be difficult to access or hard to visually inspect from the process side. Determining …

A turnkey service to ensure the safety and reliability of your ammonia tank The Challenge To ensure the safety and reliability of your refrigerated ammonia storage tank, regular inspection is a must. Regular inspections also include internal inspections, which pose a significant challenge to many plant owners due to a lack of experience with decommissioning and re-commissioning of such storage tanks and the associated risks.  Stamicarbon strongly advises opening the tank for internal inspection at the …
