Abstract:
Process for increasing the capacity of a urea plant comprising a compression section, a high-pressure synthesis section, a urea recovery section, in which a urea melt is formed, and optionally a granulation section, the capacity of the urea plant being increased by the additional installation of a melamine plant and the urea melt from the urea recovery section of the urea plant being fed wholly or partly to the melamine plant and the residual gases from the melamine plant being returned wholly or partly to the high-pressure synthesis section and/or the urea recovery section of the urea plant.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the production of granules from a liquid composition with a decreased dust production, said process comprising the steps of: applying the liquid composition onto solid particles that are kept in a continuous movement by a gas stream in a granulation zone of an oblong granulator, thereby depositing and solidifying said liquid composition around said solid particles to increase the size of the particles and thereby form grown solid particles; discharging a stream of said grown solid particles from the granulation zone, dividing, in a size-sorting apparatus, said stream of said grown solid particles into individual streams based on the size of said grown solid particles to thereby produce streams of undersized, oversized, and desired-sized grown solid particles; transferring said stream of said oversized grown solid particles to a size-reducing apparatus; crushing said stream of said oversized grown solid particles in said size-reducing apparatus, thereby reducing the particle size of said oversized grown solid particles and thereby producing a stream of crushed solid particles wherein that said stream of crushed solid particles is introduced in the granulator at a place below the place where the gas stream leaves the granulator.
Abstract:
The invention relates to process for the preparation of a urea-comprising aqueous stream, that is suitable for use in a unit for the reduction of NOx in combustion engine exhaust gases, wherein the urea-comprising aqueous stream is separated directly from or after a recovery section in a urea production process and is thereafter diluted with water until the urea-comprising stream comprises 30-35 wt % urea.
Abstract:
Process for the production of urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide in a urea plant containing a high-pressure synthesis section comprising two reactor sections, a stripper and a condenser, and a recovery section, wherein in the first reactor section a first synthesis solution is formed that is fed to the second reactor section; fresh carbon dioxide is fed to the second reactor section and in the second reactor section a second synthesis solution is formed that is fed to the stripper, wherein the second synthesis solution is stripped with the use of carbon dioxide as stripping gas and the mixed gas stream obtained in the stripper is sent to the condenser together with fresh ammonia and a carbamate stream, whereafter the condensate that is formed in the condenser is fed to the first reactor section and the urea stream that is obtained in the stripper is further purified in the recovery section, wherein the flow of the first synthesis solution from the first reactor section to the second reactor section, the flow of the second synthesis solution from the second reactor section to the stripper, the flow of the mixed gas stream from the stripper to the condenser and of the condensate from the condenser to the first reactor section is a gravity flow.

Abstract:
Process for the preparation of urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide, wherein the waste gases released at virtually atmospheric pressure in a urea plant are compressed by an ejector driven by the waste gas from the high-pressure synthesis and are supplied to a medium-pressure absorber. The pressure of the waste gases is increased by 0.15-1 MPa.
Abstract:
Process for welding duplex steel in the presence of a shielding gas without use being made of welding aids and with nitrogen being added to the shielding gas and with an austenitic-ferritic duplex steel with a chromium content of between 28 and 35 wt. % and a nickel content of between 3 and 10 wt. % being used.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for recovery of urea dust and ammonia from a gas stream by contacting said gas stream with an aqueous sulphuric acid solution, thus forming an acid solution of ammonium sulphate and urea, characterized in that the acid solution is concentrated to a melt comprising less than 5 wt % of water, which melt is subsequently transferred into solid particles comprising urea and ammonium sulphate.
