Doral, Fla. — BioNitrogen Holdings Corp., which plans to build biomass-to-urea plants in Florida and Louisiana, said Aug. 15 that it has signed an agreement with the Casale Group of Switzerland to employ its ammonia and urea plant technology for BioNitrogen’s first plant in Hardee County, Fla. It said Casale has either built or refurbished over 400 ammonia and urea plants worldwide. “Employing Casale’s technology and existing designs will allow us to increase the plant’s production capacity from 360 st/d to 520 st/d, thereby improving the plant’s economics significantly," said Bryan Kornegay Jr., BioNitrogen president and CFO. “The technology will reduce both the investment per ton of production and the engineering time. We have partnered with Casale because it is the only company with such extensive in-house experience, expertise, and technology in combined ammonia and urea plant technology, process, and equipment design.” The company expects the addition of Casale will accelerate completion of the engineering. The CCC Group will construct the plant, and AMEC will manage the engineering.
