Maire bags licensing and PDP contract for nitric acid plant in Mexico

Stamicarbon will apply its proprietary NX Stami Nitrates technology for a tailor-made solution to remove nitrous oxide from the tail gas stream

MAIRE announces that NEXTCHEM (Sustainable Technology Solutions), through its subsidiary Stamicarbon, nitrogen fertilizer technology licensor, has been awarded licensing 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.

This 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.

Alessandro Bernini, CEO of MAIRE, commented: “This award underscores our commitment to providing advanced solutions that drive environmental stewardship in the fertilizer industry.”
