Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. Today, urea is one of the most common nitrogen fertilizer. Urea manufacture is associated with anhydrous ammonia production in modern plants because carbon dioxide is a by-product of ammonia production and is thus readily available to react with the ammonia. The urea can either be dried and granulated into 46% N urea fertilizer, or dissolved in water with ammonium nitrate to make urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) solution. In most of the modern fertilizer manufacturing plants, most of the ammonia is used on site in the production of urea. The urea is used as a nitrogen-rich fertilizer, and as such is of great importance in agriculture and is also used as a component in the manufacture of resins for timber processing and in yeast manufacture. This course is designed to provide engineers in the fertilizer industry with an in-depth view of the urea production technologies.The course will guide engineers to identify future trends and needs of this fast pace industry. The course will examine the status and the most recent urea production technologies. Looking further ahead, the course will review some potentially significant developments and concepts that may impact the manner in which urea is produced. Some of these manufacturing routes are being tested or employed at few plants around the world, but have yet to be fully developed into commercial processes. The course will also provide an opportunity to exchange ideas and disseminate information through discussion of the various technical, economic, safety, and environmental issues. The knowledge gained will enable the participants to solve specific problems at his/her plant as well as improve its operation and enhance its profitability.
