70% urea solution production Partial recycleProcess flow consist decomposer to separate unconverted product and recovery it by neutralized with acid to form ammonium salt. Low complexity A lot byproduct discharge that need to be treat (Mukesh M. C, n.d)
Stamicarbon CO2 – striping process
Snamprogetti ammonia & self-striping process
72% urea solution production Total recyclehas double stripper to minimize unconverted product (NH3, CO2,)
70% urea solution production Total recyclehas stripper to minimize unconverted product (Carbamate)
