Case 5: Urea Plant ABSTRACT This case book demonstrates the use of PRO/II® in the simulation of a chemicals processing plant manufacturing 1000 tons per day of urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide. Urea is widely used as a solid fertilizer, as a protein supplement for livestock, as well as a feedstock for the manufacture of plastics and adhesives. The process plant simulated here includes a reactor, an NH3 recovery distillation column, and a series of crystallizers. SIMSCISM's NRTL databank, along with urea/water solubility data, provide a good simulation of the system's vapor-liquid and solid-liquid equilibria. Urea growth and nucleation rate crystallization data obtained from the literature are provided for the crystallizer units.

Introduction What is Urea? Urea is a source of fixed nitrogen used primarily as a crop fertilizer and as a protein food supplement for livestock. Urea is particularly desirable for this use as it is readily soluble in water. A secondary use for urea is as a feedstock for the manufacture of adhesives, plastics and resins. Urea is manufactured by the high pressure reaction of ammonia and carbon dioxide to form ammonium carbamate, followed by the decomposition of the carbamate to yield urea and water. With recycle and a stoichiometric excess of feed components, about 99% of the CO2 and NH3 is converted to urea. The major contaminant is a dimer of urea called biuret (NH2CONHCONH2.H2O). The biuret concentration should not exceed 0.2-0.3% when the urea is to be used for feed supplements or as feedstock for plastics production. For fertilizer use, the biuret content may be up to 1%.
Relevance Urea has a maximum nitrogen content of 46% and, among major nitrogenous fertilizers, is second only to ammonia. It also has the highest nitrogen content of any solid fertilizer and can be easily manufactured as granules. Worldwide, in 2002 a total of about 108 million metric tons (108Mt) of urea were produced in more than 70 countries. This production delivered about 51.4Mt of contained nitrogen. China was the largest producer with about 28%, and all of asia accounted for about 46% of the total. The United States produced about 13%, or about 14Mt. Capacity in North America and Western Europe is expected to decline due to fluctuating natural gas prices. It is expected that production will continue to shift toward world regions that have abundant natural gas, lower-cost raw materials, and cheaper labor.
Routes to Urea The production of urea may be divided into two separate parts: Synthesis Finishing The synthesis loop produces a concentrated 70-80% urea solution. The finishing step produces either granular urea or crystalline urea. Spherical granules or flakes are formed by evaporation followed by 5-2 Urea Plant

passing the molten solid product countercurrent to a flow of hot air (known as prilling). Crystallization is used to produce virtually pure crystalline urea. The type of finishing process determines the final form of urea required (i.e., the biuret content, grain size, and moisture content). Once-through urea processes, now rare, were once common. In these plants, unconverted ammonia would be recovered and undergo downstream conversion to other ammonium compounds. Nowadays, partial and total recycle processes are used, with total recycle plants being more commonplace. Two types of urea manufacturing process obtained from the open literature are outlined below. Table 5-1: Types of Urea Manufacturing Processes Process
Description
Reference
Toyo Koatsu
Total recycle process using medium operating conditions (synthesis loop at 3500 psia, high pressure decomposer at 325 psia, low pressure decomposer at 25 psia). Produces prilled urea with 0.4 wt% biuret, and 0.3 wt% moisture.
Chao1 and Dente2
Snamprogetti
Total recycle process using mild operating conditions (synthesis loop at 2500 psia, high pressure decomposer at 260 psia, low pressure decomposer at 65 psia).
Hydrocarbon Processing6
In the United States, urea is produced mainly in the form of spherical prills or granules between 20 and 50 US. mesh in size, although the use of purer, crystalline urea is increasing rapidly.
Process Outline The urea process described in this case book produces a crystalline product, and is based on information obtained from Chao1 and Dente2. The urea process presented is intended as a generalized example of a urea flowsheet and does not represent any specific licensed technology. The urea flowsheet presented here is based on the plant described by Chao1 for the Toyo Koatsu process, which is a total NH3 recycle process. The urea synthesis plant modeled here is a partial NH3 recycle process. A schematic of the process is shown in Figure 5-1.

This highly exothermic reaction goes almost to completion under reactor conditions of about 365 F and 3515 psia. The reactor product stream pressure is let down through a pressure control valve on the exit of the reactor. The reactor exit stream then enters the NH3 recovery column where recovered NH3 is recycled back to the reactor. The bottoms of the NH3 recovery column then enter the high pressure decomposer where a small fraction of the ammonium carbamate is decomposed and excess NH3 is removed as a vapor stream:

psia. The exiting liquid then enters the low pressure decomposer where the majority of ammonium carbamate decomposes at 150 F and 25 psia, and a mixed NH3/H2O vapor is removed as a vapor stream. The liquid stream then enters a flash drum followed by an evaporator where additional NH3/H2O is removed as a vapor. The remaining liquid urea/H2O stream then enters the crystallization section. The crystallization scheme used involves the use of a vacuum, forced recirculation configuration. This concentrates the solution to supersaturation resulting in urea crystal formation. The first crystallizer operates at 130 F and 1.5 psia, while the second crystallizer operates at 130 F and 1.335 psia. Following each crystallization stage is a centrifuge which separates the crystal product from the mother liquor. The two stage crystallizer is then followed by a dryer to remove<%0> most of the <%-2>remaining water. This type of crystallization scheme requires significantly less energy compared to atmospheric configurations.

Solubility Data With many inorganic systems, ideal solubility does not adequately describe the solution behavior. For these cases solubility data can be fitted to the following equation:
ln x i = A + B ---- + C ln T T
(5-3)
The above equation provides a good fit to much of the solubility data reported in the literature. For systems containing more than one solvent, the solubility of the solute in the multi component solvent is calculated using the following relationship: N

Unit Operations Urea Synthesis As shown in Figure 5-2, fresh NH3 feed (stream 1) is mixed with recycle NH3 (stream 7) from the NH3 recovery column (COL1). The combined NH3 feed is raised to the operating pressure of reactor RX1 of 3515 psia in pump P1. Fresh CO2 feed (stream 2) is raised to the operating pressure of reactor RX1, 3516 psia, in compressor COM1. The primary urea reaction occurs in a high pressure, high temperature reactor. Reactor (RX1) is modeled as a conversion reactor unit, with 100% conversion. This reactor uses the reaction set RSTI previously defined in the Reaction Data category of input. Note that the heat of reaction may be optionally input for the urea reaction. However, PRO/II can calculate the heat of reaction from the heat of formation of the components if a value is not input.

Finishing The bulk urea solution from the urea synthesis section is then sent into the first stage (CR1) of a two stage vacuum evaporative crystallization purification process. The crystallizer is operated at 130 F and 1.5 psia, and a design specification is made that 85% of the urea in the feed crystallizes. Growth and crystal nucleation rate data are provided using information obtained from the literature. See the Kinetic Data section later in this case book for more information on how these parameters were derived.

Kinetic Data It is important to accurately determine growth and nucleation kinetic parameters. The article by Bennett3 is a good source of urea crystallization data. The articles by Bennett3 and Perry4 provide good discussions on calculation of crystallization kinetic parameters from crystal size distribution data. Crystal size distribution data obtained from the Bennett3 article for sample number 192 are used to demonstrate how to calculate both growth and nucleation rates. First, the crystal size distribution data in Tyler screen size are converted to average particle diameter. Table 5-2: Tyler Screen Sizes Screen Range

The number density (nL) as defined here is the number of crystals in a specified size range up to size L per liter of volume. The formal definition for n is: where:
nL =
N lim -------- l 0 L
(5-6)
N = number of crystals retained on the screen in the specified size range
L = difference between the screen size of the retaining sieve and its immediate predecessor. As an example, the number density for screen size 14-20 (n20) is calculated directly using the following slurry properties and the above screen data. Slurry density, MT = 450. g/L 5-14 Urea Plant

A plot of the natural log of number density versus the average particle diameter is known as a Population Density Plot. An example is shown in) as shown in Figure 3.

where: Dav= average crystal diameter G= growth rate over the time interval t t= crystallizer time interval n0= number density of crystal nuclei B = nucleation rate

From Figure 5-3, the intercept is 19.78 and the slope is -9.13. The following calculations then are performed. Since Dav= 1 mm and slope = -Dav/Gt It follows that:

Slope = -1/Gt = -9.13

Therefore: G = 1/(-9.13)(3.38) = 0.0324 mm/h The growth rate calculated using equation Equation 5-9 is: B = (0.0324) * exp(19.78) = 12.65x106 crystals / L-h The nuclei number density is also given by:

Using the natural logarithms of growth vs. nuclei number, densities are plotted as shown in Figure 5-4. Using the following expression and the resulting slope of the plot, the exponent for the power law nucleation rate equation is determined. Calculation of the i exponent assumes the slurry density (MT) is constant.

Figure 5-4: Growth vs. Nucleation Rate
The slope (-2.75) of the plot shown in Figure 5-4 yields a value of -1.75 for the exponent i. The nucleation rate, B, then is obtained from Equation 5-11 as: k
B = Kb MT G
– 1.75
(5-11)
Similar data at constant growth rate is required to calculate the k exponent in the final form of the nucleation equation. For urea crystallization, a value of -3.87 is recommended for the k exponent by Bennett3. In addition, a value of -1.66 is recommended for the i exponent, compared to -1.75 calculated here. The paper by Garside and Shaw5 is a recommended source of nucleation and growth kinetic data.

However, if the calculated growth rate exponent of -1.75 is used in place of the suggested value of -1.66, the nucleation rate is calculated to be 3.258x108 number of crystals/ft3-h. This value compares closely with the value calculated from the data. The final form of growth and nucleation rate equations used in this simulation then are: –8
