ChemicalsEngineering for plants and process technologies
We develop, design, and build chemical plants that combine maximum efficiency with a consistent commitment to resource efficiency. With thyssenkrupp Uhde, we set the standard in global chemical plant engineering - from the initial concept to safe operation.
Implementing complex processes safely in practice
Building chemical plants involves more than just assembling steel and pipes. It means translating complex chemical processes into safe, economical, and reliable industrial facilities. That is exactly what thyssenkrupp Uhde stands for.
Implement projects from a single source
thyssenkrupp Uhde offers comprehensive EPC services — from engineering and procurement through construction to services. Projects are implemented globally from a single source and supported throughout the entire value chain: from the initial concept through procurement and construction to commissioning and long-term plant operation. This results in solutions that combine quality, on-time delivery, and cost-effectiveness.
This comprehensive implementation expertise is also evident in coke plant technologies. thyssenkrupp Uhde designs, supplies, and modernizes coking plants of various types and supports operators throughout the entire plant life cycle — from design through ongoing operation. Process engineering expertise, many years of service experience, and modern environmental standards form the foundation for safe and efficient plant operation.
Technologies for the chemical industry of tomorrow
thyssenkrupp Uhde’s portfolio includes technologies and processes for key operations in the chemical industry. Continuous improvements help ensure that plants are operated more efficiently, more resource-efficiently, and more cost-effectively. The following examples illustrate how thyssenkrupp Uhde’s engineering solutions are applied in practice.
The EnviNOx® technology from thyssenkrupp Uhde reduces nitrous oxide (N₂O) and nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) emissions in nitric acid and fertilizer production. It can be easily integrated into existing plants and helps operators reduce emissions sustainably without disrupting ongoing operations.
With Carbon2Chem®, thyssenkrupp, together with more than 20 partners from academia and industry, has developed a collaborative project that converts CO2 from industrial processes into a raw material. This produces basic chemicals for fertilizers, plastics, and fuels, and creates new value chains for a more climate-friendly chemical industry.
thyssenkrupp Uhde develops technologies that enable green hydrogen to be transported worldwide in the form of ammonia and made usable again at its destination through ammonia cracking. This creates the foundation for international hydrogen value chains.
With its methanol technologies, thyssenkrupp Uhde supports the production of one of the chemical industry’s most important raw materials. Decades of experience in plant engineering are combined with modern process optimization — for high yields, lower operating costs, and reduced emissions.
With UFT® Fluid Bed Granulation, thyssenkrupp Uhde offers a proven technology for fertilizer production. It enables the manufacturing of high-quality urea granules, supports reliable plant operation, and combines strong performance with resource-efficient processes.
Engineering for the transformation of the chemical industry
The technologies from thyssenkrupp Uhde and thyssenkrupp nucera are driving the transformation of the chemical industry. Their engineering solutions create processes that not only capture CO2 but also integrate it into industrial value chains as a valuable raw material. Chemical plants are designed and built to operate economically while meeting the requirements of a low-CO2 industry. In this way, both companies help their customers make their production processes more sustainable and future-proof.
