OUR SPEAKING SESSIONS
Khaled Elbassyouni - Urea Plant Upset Scenarios Workshop
Session: Workshop
Date: 9th February
Session Time: 13:15 – 14:45
Looking to enhance your urea plant's operational resilience and troubleshooting capabilities? Join the workshop where you’ll explore common and challenging case studies using dynamic simulation (OTS) and real-time process monitoring to learn effective strategies for handling upset conditions in the urea plant.
Andrea Orsetti - Optimising CO2 stripping in carbon capture with integrated heat pump systems, a focus on regenerator pressure selection
Session: Technical Showcases
Date: 11th February
Session Time: 12:00 -12:30
Govhar Mammadova, Luca Amicucci - Complete In-House Technology: Integrated Small-Scale Urea Production with Green Ammonia
Session: Track 3 – Sustainable Fertilizer Plant
Date: 11th February
Session Time: 09:00 – 09:30
The presentation will explore a small-scale urea solution that integrates green ammonia synthesis, urea melt and finishing under a single license to enable low-carbon, localised fertilizer production in infrastructure-limited regions; the design supports flexible CO2 sourcing, redirects ammonia-loop purge gas into the urea section—eliminating a dedicated purge treatment unit—and keeps standardised low-pressure absorbers for easy scaling, while utility synergies reduce Capex/Opex and emissions, making modular, rapid deployment technically and economically attractive for fertilizer plants.
Leonardo Falbo - Syngas and Hydrogen Production: SCT-CPO Flexibility and Industrial Performance
Session: Track 2 – Low Carbon Hydrogen Solutions
Date: 11th February
Session Time: 11:50 – 12:15
Discover SCT-CPO — a flexible, cost-effective syngas route that can be tuned by pressure, temperature and steam/oxygen ratios. Applied as a front-end for methanol and ammonia synthesis, to boost SAF via Fischer-Tropsch off-gas recycling, and to decarbonise the steel sector, it cuts external green-H2 demand, enables heat recovery and CO2 capture, and improves carbon efficiency. Join us to see practical integration strategies and real-world gains.
Matteo Mennella - NX eBlue™: A Competitive Low-Carbon Alternative to Conventional Steam Methane Reforming
Session: Track 2 – Low Carbon Hydrogen Solutions
Date: 11th February
Session Time: 12:15 – 12:40
Introducing NX eBlue™: MAIRE’s industrial-ready electrified hydrogen platform and low-carbon, high-efficiency alternative to SMR. It supports multiple feedstocks, achieves 33–45% CO2 reduction with near-100% capture (recoverable for use or storage), can be net-negative on biomethane, uses only one-third the renewable electricity of electrolysis, and is scalable, CCS-compatible and ready for deployment.
Fabio Ferrari - The Absorption Advantage and Cryogenic Opportunity on Carbon Capture
Session: Track 1 – Carbon Capture
Date: 11th February
Session Time: 15:00 – 15:30
Selecting the right post-combustion carbon-capture route is critical—and plant-specific. This talk contrasts mature solvent-based absorption with high-purity, fully electrified cryogenic capture, weighing energy, Capex and Opex trade-offs. We’ll show hybrid optimization opportunities, key KPI selection for different flue gases, and practical guidance to choose the most cost-effective, scalable solution for your decarbonization project.
Morteza Hadian - Amplifying Your Nitric Acid Production
Session: Track 2 – Nitric Acid Technology and Catalysts
Date: 11th February
Session Time: 16:40 – 17:10
Stricter regulations, rising energy costs and sustainability targets are pushing nitric acid plants to modernise. This presentation outlines practical upgrades—technologies that increase capacity and efficiency, reduce emissions, and extend plant life—helping operators cut costs and meet compliance.
