The Urea
Plant was designed and constructed by Chiyoda Corporation of Japan with Process license from M/s. Stamicarbon of Netherlands for producing 1500MTPD.
However
with the sustaining efforts and the implementation of in house
Modifications/Projects the capacity was enhanced to 1800 per day.
Ammonia
carbonate is decomposed to Urea and water in the reactor. Urea solution is then
concentrated to about 99.7% and fed to the top of the prilling tower. Solid
product prills from its bottom are cooled and sent to Urea bulk storage.
Water
removed in the concentration stage contains some Ammonia and Urea. Most of it
is recovered and water with ppm levels of Ammonia and Urea contents is
discharged and used for irrigation purposes.
A dust
recovery system has been provided on top of the prilling tower to remove Urea
dust from the exhaust air, to minimize the pollution.
Prilled,
white Urea, free from visible impurities and dust and chemically treated to
reduce hygroscopicity with the following chemical specifications:
