20080242890Method for Modernizing a Urea Production Plant - A method for modernizing a urea production plant including a urea synthesis reactor, a stripping unit and at least one condensation unit. The method includes providing: means in the condensation unit for substantially condensing at least a portion of a flow comprising ammonia and carbon dioxide in vapor phase leaving the stripping unit; a second stripping unit; means for feeding a first portion of a reaction mixture flow comprising urea, carbamate and free ammonia in aqueous solution leaving the reactor to the first stripping unit; means for feeding a second portion of the reaction mixture flow leaving the reactor to the second stripping unit; and means for feeding at least a portion of a flow comprising ammonia and carbon dioxide in vapor phase leaving the second stripping unit directly to the synthesis reactor. A de-bottlenecking of the high-pressure section downstream of the synthesis reactor may be achieved, improving production capacity.10-02-2008
20090124830Process for Urea Production and Related Plant - A process for urea production from ammonia and carbon dioxide, in which part of the aqueous solution comprising urea, ammonium carbamate and ammonia obtained in a urea synthesis section is subjected to dissociation in a treatment section operating at a predetermined medium pressure for the recovery of the ammonium carbamate and of the ammonia contained in it, comprises the step of subjecting the urea aqueous solution resulting from the aforementioned dissociation step to decomposition in a low pressure urea recovery section.05-14-2009
20090220396Plant for Urea Production - Plant for urea production from ammonia and carbon dioxide having a so-called high-pressure section which comprises a synthesis reactor and a condensation unit (09-03-2009
