FIGURE : BLOCK DIAGRAM OF UREA PRODUCTION

DESCRIPTION OF THE BLOCK DIAGRAM

1. Desulphurization

Removes of sulphur by using catalytic hydrogenation

Equation : H2+ RSH RH+H2S(gas)
In the reactor using AL2O3 as catalyst
H2S +ZNO ZNS +H20

2. STEAM METHANE CATLYTIC REFORMER

CH4(g)+H2O(g) CO(g)+3H2(g)
In this system will involve of 2 types of reformer
1. Primary reformer
2. Secondary reformer
AIR +H2(g) N2(g) +H20
Air being introduce in the 2nd reformer as the air will react with hydrogen that being
produced by the 1st reformer

3. SHIFT CONVERSION

CO(g)+ H20(g) CO2(g)+H20(g)

4. CO2 REMOVAL

Catalyst of mono-ethanolamine (MEA) OR MDEA as the CO2 remove by the absorption of

catalyst

5. METHANATION

COG)+3H2(g) CH4(g)+H20(g)
CO2(g)+4H2(g) CH4(g)+2H20(g)

6. AMMONIA REACTOR

in this reactor we will used iron oxide as the catalyst.

N2(g)+H3(g) 3NH2(g)

7. UREA PLANT

Happen in the reactor at high temperature and pressure

Involve in 2 steps for the formation of urea

2NH3(g) + CO2(g) NH2COONH4(g)

NH2COONH4 H20+NH2CONH2(urea)
