Tecnimont SpA and Tecnimont USA, part of the leading Italian engineering and technology group Maire Tecnimont SpA, have been awarded two new contracts worth a combined $415 million in the U.S. by the same company for a blue ammonia plant and a urea diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) plant.
The first award, made last month, is for the provision of engineering, procurement, and construction management services for the blue ammonia plant with a capacity of 3,000 mt/d. Maire Tecnimont put the contract value at approximately $230 million.
The second award, announced by Maire Tecnimont on April 11, will see Tecnimont provide technology from Stamicarbon (part of the Maire Tecnimont Group) for the urea DEF plant, which will have a capacity of 1,500 mt/d, plus the necessary utilities and facilities, including a CO2 purification plant. The ammonia feedstock will be supplied from the aforementioned blue ammonia plant.
Maire Tecnimont did not disclose the location of the two plants or the identity of the awarding company, describing the company only as “a leading global chemicals producer, developing its energy transition industrial vision.”
A construction contract or contracts will be awarded separately to an external party not belonging to Maire Tecnimont Group, and will be directly awarded by the client.
The completion of the two projects is expected in 2025.
