It will be the first urea production plant in sub-Saharan Africa. In particular, Stamicarbon will provide the Process Design Package for the Front-End Engineering and Design for a 4000 ton / day urea synthesis and granulation plant. This was announced by Maire Tecnimont in a note in which the urea synthesis plant will be equipped with a pool reactor and will use the MP Flash Design of Stamicarbon, one of the urea synthesis variants of Stamicarbon with a higher energy efficiency. which involves a significant reduction in steam consumption. The use of reduced equipment translates into a significant decrease in the general costs of the plant as well as a reduction in maintenance and operating costs.
