The Saipem Urea Project in Turkmenistan marks a major development in the global fertilizer sector, as Saipem secures a new technology contract from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Moreover, the project highlights Saipem’s leadership in delivering large-scale, energy-efficient urea production solutions.
Under this agreement, Saipem will provide its proprietary Snamprogetti™ Urea technology, along with detailed engineering services. This advanced technology is widely recognized for its high efficiency, reliability, and safety standards in modern fertilizer production.
Saipem’s Advanced Technology to Power 3,500 TPD Urea Plant
The upcoming fertilizer unit will have a production capacity of 3,500 tonnes per day (TPD). This highlights Saipem’s capability to deliver high-capacity and energy-efficient urea solutions for global markets.
Moreover, the Snamprogetti™ Urea technology plays a critical role in optimizing energy consumption while maintaining consistent production output. This makes it a preferred choice for large-scale fertilizer projects worldwide.
Strong Global Track Record of Saipem Urea Project
This strong track record demonstrates Saipem’s technical expertise and ability to deliver reliable fertilizer solutions across diverse geographies. The company continues to play a key role in supporting global food security through efficient fertilizer production technologies.
Continued Presence of Saipem in Turkmenistan
This new project follows the successful execution of the Garabogazkarbamid fertilizer plant, commissioned in 2018 in Turkmenistan. Saipem had previously supplied its technology for this project under a contract awarded by MHI in 2014.
The repeat collaboration highlights the trust in Saipem’s technology and execution capabilities.
Expanding Partnership Beyond Fertilizers
The partnership between Saipem and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries extends beyond fertilizers. In 2023, both companies signed a General License Agreement for deploying advanced carbon capture technologies, including KM CDR Process™ and Advanced KM CDR Process™.
This collaboration supports large-scale carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects, aligning with global sustainability goals.
