The plant is designed to synthesize 1,000 short tons per stream day of urea from liquid ammonia and gaseous carbon dioxide to produce a urea melt suitable as feed to a granulating plant. The evaporation portion concentrates urea solution from synthesis to produce urea melt and is also designed to concentrate an additional 202 short tons of urea per stream day recycled from granulation as a 45% water solution into urea melt.
The urea consists of the Urea Synthesis Section 100, which includes evaporation and condensate treatment, and the Utilities Section 300, which includes steam, cooling water, instrument air and emergency systems. Section 100 was designed strictly in accordance with design information supplied by Stamicarbon, b.v.
