Process and technology for melamine plants: Casale LEM™ technology
Process and technology for melamine plants: Casale LEM™ technology
Casale acquired Borealis’s melamine technology in 2013, causing a breakthrough in the melamine licensing market.
Since then, Casale has licensed and designed 3 melamine plants (capacity 40’000 MTPA each), one of them successfully started-up in 2019.
Besides the licensing and plant design activity, Casale has further developed the technology targeting the purification of the plant wastewater for caustic soda recovery and combining first and second reactor in a single piece of equipment.
Thanks to proven scaling-up criteria and CFD calculations, Casale can offer single synthesis line-melamine plants up to 100’000 MTPA.
Melamine producers can benefit from the most advanced melamine process (LEM™ – Low Energy Melamine – technology) guaranteeing low energy consumption, high product quality, safety and reliability.
