Green ammonia: a carbon-free future for fertilizers
There are dozens of green ammonia projects currently under development around the world. This presentation will introduce these projects and describe the forces driving decarbonization through the fertilizer industry, and it will address the question: Without a carbon dioxide byproduct, how will green ammonia plants produce urea in the future?
Lunch Tuesday sponsored by Tecnimont
Join us for a bite and some refreshments sponsored by Tecnimont.

Experiences with Flash Design
This presentation gives some background on the concept of the LAUNCH MELT Flash Design and a comparison between the LAUNCH MELT Flash Design, the LAUNCH MELT Pool Condenser & Pool Reactor Designs (former Urea 2000+) and the other energy saving concept, the LAUNCH MELT Ultra-Low Energy Design.
Risk based approach in the replacement of HP cigar type scrubbers
When in a HP scrubber the vapors from the synthesis are fully condensed the passivation air in combination with hydrogen and other flammables can form a gas mixture that may lead to deflagration.
As the latest design standard for HP scrubbers cannot always be implemented in existing plants, Stamicarbon can support their customers with a risk based approach for the replacement of existing scrubbers.

Stamicarbon is introducing its mono and dual pressure technology for the production of nitric acid designed to cope with the latest environmental regulations and to maximize the amount of steam exported.
Experiences with MicroMist™ and Jet Venturi scrubbing systems
Analysis of the operational aspects of the first on-stream MicroMist™ Venturi Scrubbers in granulation plants, the modifications and improvements applied during start-up, and of the possible future improvements in relation to lay-out and internals of the scrubbing system. Presentation of the conducted pilot tests and conceptual design development for the Jet Venturi Scrubber for prilling plants.
Coffee break Thursday morning
A moment to revitalize and visit the exhibition area.
Continuous improvement of high pressure stripper design
Stamicarbon has developed an improved HP Stripper design triggered by a higher than normal passive corrosion rate of heat exchanger (HEX) tubes in large HP Strippers (>2700 MTPD); and by the absence of iron oxide deposits in the HEX-tubes located in the center of the tube-sheet.
We have a leak … Do we need to stop the plant?
In urea plants a leak can easily occur due to the various corrosion phenomena and the challenge to realise a proper sealing between the applied materials. In case of a leak one encounters a challenging dilemma: Should one stop the plant immediately or is it possible to wait until the next scheduled shut-down?
