Chapter 88.4.3 NH 3 stripping processDescriptionTable 8.15 gives an overview of a total recycling NH 3 stripping process. Key feature of thistechnology is the removal of most of the residual carbamate from the reaction solution by selfstripping with NH 3 at high pressure. In comparison with conventional processes, this savesconsiderable amounts of energy for decomposition at low pressures and recompression forrecycling to the process.Process sequenceSteps and conditionsNH 3 /CO 2 ratio 3.5ReactorTemperature 170 ºCPressure150 barStripping with NH 3and recycle at highpressureHP stripper (NH 3 feed via the stripper or self stripping)HP condenserCarbamatedecompositionCarbamate recyclingNH 3 recyclingPre-decomposerDecomposer 1Decomposer 2CondensationCondensation17 bar4.5 barPurge gas(from decomposition)treated in 2 stage scrubber, NH 3 solutions are recycledSolidificationVacuum decomposerEvaporationPrillingCondensate treatment(desorption, hydrolisation with 25 bar steam,hydrolisation with 70 bar steam)Table 8.15: Example for a total recycling NH 3 stripping process[121, German UBA, 2001]Achieved environmental benefits• enables almost complete raw material recovery• energy savings in comparison with conventional processes.Cross-media effectsNone believed likely in comparison with other urea production processes.<strong>Large</strong> <strong>Volume</strong> <strong>Inorganic</strong> <strong>Chemicals</strong> – <strong>Ammonia</strong>, Acids and Fertilisers 341
