Urea I (1750 MTPD)
The process licensor for the Urea Production unit is Stamicarbon. The production capacity of the unit is 1750 Metric Tons Per Day (MTPD). Initially commissioned in 1973 with a production capacity of 550 MTPD, it underwent an upgrade in 1977 to reach 1100 MTPD. This upgrade involved adopting the process technology of Total Solution recycling, evaporation, and Prilling and operating with a pneumatic control system. In 2002, the unit was further modernized and revamped to achieve a production capacity of 1750 MTPD. This enhancement incorporated the stripping and granulation process technology. Alongside the capacity upgrade, the operating system was transitioned from a pneumatic control system to a DCS (Distributed Control System) setup. The major equipment utilized in the unit includes a Pool condenser, Urea Reactor, Urea Stripper replaced in 2012 with Surfurex Material, MP stage heater, carbamate condenser, Motor driven LP and HP CO2 compressors (Hitachi make) and all related equipment, including Vessels, drum’s, heat exchangers, pumps, etc.
