Abstract:
A method for revamping a self-stripping urea plant comprising the installation of a new CO2-stripping synthesis section (6), wherein at least part of the aqueous urea solution (10) leaving said new section (6) is directed to the existing low pressure recovery section (4) of the self-stripping plant, by-passing the existing self-stripping high-pressure section (2) and medium pressure treatment section (3).
Abstract:
An integrated process for the synthesis of urea and melamine, wherein: urea is synthesized with a stripping process in a high-pressure synthesis loop comprising a reactor, a stripper and a carbamate condenser, and the urea solution leaving said stripper is sent to a recovery section to produce a concentrated urea product and a recovered carbamate solution; at least part of said urea product is converted to melamine, and the off-gas from the synthesis of melamine are recycled to the urea synthesis by mixing with the gas phase from the stripper and with said recovered carbamate solution, thus forming a mixed flow which is then condensed in said carbamate condenser, and the condensate is eventually directed to the reactor.
Abstract:
A process for purifying a urea-containing aqueous stream, such as the aqueous stream from the recovery section of a urea plant, comprising a step of removing biuret from the urea-containing stream by reverse osmosis in one or more reverse osmosis stages.
Abstract:
A process for synthesis of urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide comprising the synthesis of urea in parallel in a first urea reactor (1) at a first urea synthesis pressure and in a second urea reactor (2) at a second and lower urea synthesis pressure; a stripping step of the reaction effluent of the first reactor, which is performed in a stripper (4) operating at a stripping pressure lower than the first urea synthesis pressure; the reaction effluent (21) of the second reactor (2) and the stripper liquid effluent (11) are sent to a recovery section (13) where a carbamate-containing recycle solution (17) is produced, and said recycle solution (17) is sent partly to said first reactor and partly to said second reactor.

Abstract:
A method for measuring a liquid level (L) in a pressure vessel (2) the method comprising: providing a thermometric well (10) inside the pressure vessel, heating an inner surface of the thermometric well which is not in contact with the fluid, detecting the temperature of at least one detection point of said inner surface; estimating a position of the liquid level based on the difference between a reference temperature and the temperature so detected.
