Refractory Lined + ASME U Stamped Expansion Joints for Ammonia Plant in North Africa
Commercial fertilizer production challenges engineers when it comes to high pressures, temperatures, and corrosion resistance. The specific environment requires special (custom) designs and high-quality corrosion resistant materials. MACOGA is the specialist in this field and has developed a wide range of Expansion Joints that are being successfully used in the fertilizer production process.
Our client located in North Africa produces liquid Ammonia and utilizes KBR’s latest and commercially proven KBR Advanced Ammonia Process (KAAP) technology.
