Block diagram of total recycle of ammonia stripping in urea production Urea production takes place through the following main reactions: Urea synthesis and high pressure recovery.
Urea purification in the medium, low pressure decomposers, Pre vacuum concentrators. Urea concentration. Urea Prilling.
Block diagram of urea prilling section UREA SYNTHESIS:(FLOW SHEET) a complete urea process description with flow sheet The liquid ammonia coming from the battery limit at a temperature of 120C and 18 Kg/cm2(g) is collected in a ammonia receiving vessel which is operated at a medium pressure(17Kg/cm2). From the ammonia receiver, the liquid ammonia is pumped to the reactor by two pumps. The first pump is the ammonia booster pump which is centrifugal type and supplies the liquid ammonia at 22Kg/cm2 to second pump suction. The second pump is the high pressure ammonia pump which is a reciprocating-plunger type. Due to the reciprocating motion of second pump pulsating takes place in the discharge of booster pump and those cause the change of loads on booster pump to avoid these booster pump and those cause the change of loads on booster pump to avoid these pulsations a damper is provided in the suction of second pump. In the H.P. ammonia pump, the ammonia
pressure is increased to 239Kg/cm2 and then goes to a ammonia pre heater where it is preheated to 750C by L.P. decomposer outlet gases, H.P. ammonia is used as pressure section contains first and second stage another one is the high pressure section contains third and fourth stage. First and second stages contains three, third stage contains four and fourth stage two numbers of closed type impellers. Carbon dioxide gas enters first stage suction at 1.5kg/cm2 and 400C and compressed to 160 Kg/cm2 in four stages. Intercoolers are provided after first, second and third stages to cool the carbon dioxide using cooling water. Along with coolers knock out drums are provided between each stage in which moisture gets separated. Lube oil system provides the lubrication of the rotating parts. The superheated steam and saturated LS steam is used as a driving fluid for steam turbine. Superheated HS steam is extracted and part of steam is condensed in condenser. Condensate is then pumped to D.M. plant.
