How do we enable the world to feed itself at Stamicarbon ?

On a daily basis Stamicarbon engineers design and build big technical factories known as “plants”. These plants make a fertilizer called “UREA” by putting different chemical ingredients together. Just as people need good food to grow and remain healthy and strong, the ground also needs good food to make plants grow healthy and strong. Fertilizers are good food for the ground and therefore help farmers grow better food.
Part of the job is to prepare technical drawings for these urea plants and make sure that people build the plants exactly as they have been drawn. This requires a lot of traveling to faraway places.
There are a lot of people in the world that live in poverty, but thanks to fertilizers crop yields can be improved and in so doing help feed the growing population.
At Stamicarbon, our pioneering spirit is built on strong partnerships. With more than 250 licensed plants and over 90 debottlenecking projects, there is no other company with more experience in the fertilizer industry.
We collaborate with our customers for the entire lifecycle of their urea facility, investing in state-of-the-art technology and innovative solutions to maintain and improve urea plant performance.
Background:
Since its discovery in 1773, UREA has become the most important nitrogen-based fertilizer in the world. Produced from a mixture of natural elements (ammonia, carbon dioxide and oxygen), the white crystalline organic compound contains about 46% nitrogen. Synthetic urea is also produced commercially from ammonia and carbon dioxide.
As plants grow, nutrients are absorbed from the soil. To maintain a rich and fertile growing environment, these nutrients must be returned to the soil after they have been depleted.
Plants need 1 kg of nitrogen to produce 10-15 kg of grain. Most tropical soils can fix nitrogen by drawing it from our nitrogen-rich atmosphere - enough to yield around 1 ton of grain per hectare. However, to produce more grain it is essential that the plants boost their source of nitrogen (as well as phosphorous, potassium and trace elements) from fertilizers like UREA.
