 ACES21-LP® UREA PROCESS by TOYO

ACES21-LP® Lowers Synthesis Pressure to 136 barG*

▪Urea synthesis at the lowest pressure maintaining all salient features of current ACES21®
▪Highest CO2 Conversion
▪Less OPEX
▪Less CAPEX
5-10% reduction of weight of synthesis equipment

ACES21-LP® drastically reduces passivation air*

Sophisticated application of DP28W™, duplex SS and 316L SS to synthesis section further enhances corrosion resistance even
with significantly reduced passivation air

Currently operating ACES21® plants can be easily upgraded to ACES21-LP® *

▪Low-pressure synthesis at 136 barG realizes 3% energy savings or 3% production increase only with minor modifications,
maintaining original process scheme and HP equipment in-situ
▪Excellent cost-benefit performance; payout within one year
