Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the removal of urea dust from the off-gas of a finishing section of a urea production plant. the method comprises subjecting the off-gas to quenching with water so as to produce quenched off-gas, and subjecting the quenched off-gas to scrubbing using at least one venturi scrubber. As a result, a lower pressure drop over the scrubber is attained, and a more efficient growth of urea particles, facilitating the removal thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of urea ammonium nitrate, a system and a method of modifying a plant. The process comprises subjecting ammonia-containing off-gas resulting from the production of ammonium nitrate (AN off-gas) to condensation under acidic conditions so as to form an acidic condensate, and using at least part of the acidic condensate as an acidic scrubbing liquid in a finishing treatment section having a gas inlet in fluid communication with a gas outlet of a finishing section of a urea production unit, wherein the finishing section is adapted to solidify urea liquid, and wherein said finishing treatment section is adapted to subject ammonia-containing off-gas of the finishing section to treatment with an acidic scrubbing liquid.
