Production of Urea
Through ACES Process
Advanced Cost And Energy Saving Process
Problem Statement
To synthesize urea by advanced cost and
energy saving process
Urea Manufacturing Processes:
General processes available for urea production
are
1) Conventional Processes
2) Modern Processes
Conventional Processes:
Once Through Process
Partial Recycle Process
Total Recycle Process
Modern Processes
CO2 Stripping Process (Stamicarbon)
Ammonia Stripping Process (snamprogetti)
ACES Process
WHY ONLY ACES?
Stamicarbon Process
Snamprogetti Process
ACES Process
High production cost. High material of High production cost
Low production cost
construction cost
High energy cost
High energy cost/less energy recovery
Less treatment of pollutants
Carbon dioxide used as stripping agent but
NH3 in condenser which is more corrosive
Less
energy
cost/High
energy
recovery
Less treatment of pollutants
Low environment pollution.
NH3 is used as stripping agent
CO2 is used as a stripping agent and
carbamate solution in condenser
Less recovery of process fluids and heat
Less number of recovery equipments
Decomposers
Absorbers
Recovery equipments are greater in
number i-e
Decomposers
Absorbers
Evaporators
ACES Advantages:
Low Investment Cost
Reduction of construction cost (Low Elevation and Compact Layout)
Reactor on Ground Level
Simple synthesis loop and no gravity flow
Reduction of Equipment cost:
Less number of equipment in synthesis loop
Low Energy Consumption and running cost saving:
The operation condition of synthesis section is optimized under the lower operation pressure
than the previous process. As a result, a remarkable reduction in energy consumption is
achieved.
Easy Operation and High On-stream Factor
Forced flow of synthesis loop circulation by ejector and no gravity flow
Maintenance Cost Saving
Milder operating condition in synthesis loop (Less corrosion risk)
Use of Duplex stainless steel
