Reviews the newest technologies for granular urea production and discusses advantages (notably economic) or granulation over conventional prilling process. Urea is a nitrogen fertilizer increasingly used in Asia; it is processed by one of two methods, granulation and prilling. The report begins by summarizing reasons why granular urea is preferable to prilled urea. Granular particles are well-suited for blending and for use in coating processes, feature high abrasion resistance, and their production entails relatively few environmental hazards. Next, the three major granulation processes are reviewed; these are TVA Pan Granulation, Norsk Hydro Pan Granulation, and Fisons Granular Urea Process. The report provides information on converting a prilling process to a granulation process, and summarizes both wet scrubber and dry collection methods for solids recovery. Numerous tables and figures accompany the text.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from first seen; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
A few documents to read first. Each opens in the side panel, with the PDF to download.
