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
