Haldor Topsoe engineers monitor performance of the ammonia plant at SOCAR Carbamide in Azerbaijan and follow up activity of catalyst charges, the company told Trend.
“This technical support is good potential basis for further improvements and revamps. We have a very successful project in Azerbaijan – our technology and catalysts have been implemented in the ammonia plant of SOCAR Carbamide,” said the company.
Haldor Topsoe noted that within renewable energy, the company has partners competent in generation of renewable electricity and unique solutions for application of renewable electricity into clean fuels and chemicals production.
“We see big potential in combination and integration of different technologies based on renewable power – both in new projects and in green revamps of existing plants.”
