We have partnered with Casale because it is the only company with such extensive in-house experience, expertise and technology in combined ammonia and urea plant technology, process and equipment design."

BioNitrogen's VP of Operations, Ernie Iznaga added, "We recently completed a comprehensive search for the best-in-class ammonia and urea technology providers and selected the Casale Group as having a very impressive combination of technology, in-house engineering capability, responsiveness and cost for our requirements. They are an excellent complement to the team and I'm very confident they will accelerate completion of the engineering."

"We are very happy to have been selected by BioNitrogen for this project and look forward to working with them on the first plant in Florida. Casale will be providing leading edge ammonia and urea technologies and design experience and are excited about moving the project forward," said Giuseppe Guarino, Casale Group CEO.
