A world of solutions
If you want to boost your overall process, increase your fertilizer production, decarbonize your plant or ensure that your production keeps running, we have specific solutions. For example, we can run dynamic simulations to identify efficiency gaps, add a hot gas expander to your HNO3 production line, or use your waste heat for heat pumps. We can replace CO2 inline compressors with integrally geared compressors (~ 20% capacity increase with the same power consumption). We can also add carbon capture to your fertilizer plant. And, natural, we revamp and retrofit turbomachinery.
