The production of Urea Fertilizer involves components and processes which are highly corrosive and that will put to an extreme test the materials used.
The production process is dangerous as it involves high potential risk of explosion and fire. For these reasons the components used in these plants have to respect strict parameters of quality and have to be rigidly conformed to technical specifications of the licensors.
Above reasons are at a basis of a though control of suppliers from licensors and from the limited number of companies operating in the sector.
Urea plants are usually designed and built according to specifications issued by licensors. Well- known licensors such as Saipem, Stamicarbon, Toyo, Casale, Tecnimont and others, also define the criteria according to which the stainless steel parts should be furnished, especially for the high pressure sections.
