    The Snamprogetti Urea Process uses ammonia as a self-stripping agent to strip CO2 from urea solution in a falling film heat exchanger at reactor pressure. The separated CO2 and NH3 are recombined as ammonium carbamate and returned to the reactor. This reduces pumping requirements for NH3 and carbamate solution compared to other processes. The process operates at 186-189°C, 155 Kg/cm2 pressure, and an NH3 to CO2 ratio of 3.3-3.6:1 to achieve a 62-65% conversion yield in the reactor.

    Description originale:

    The Snamprogetti Urea Process is basically a total recycle stripping process using ammonia as self stripping agent.The Snamprogetti process used the excess ammonia present in the urea solution leaving the reactor to strip CO2 from urea solution in a falling film steam heated heat exchanger operated at the urea reactor pressure. The separated CO2 and NH3 are recombined as ammonium carbamate in the carbamate condensers, also operating at urea reactor pressure and then returned to the reactor for conversion to urea.The overall result of this scheme is that an internal recycle of both NH3 and CO2 in the urea reactor system is established without having to pump either component , as in previous total recycle process in which NH3 and CO2 were separated from the solution at lower pressure. This substantially reduces the high pressure pumping requirements for both the NH3 and ammonium carbamide solution, since in the Snamprogetti stripping process approximately 80% of the CO2 fed is converted to urea within high pressure synthesis loop and only about 20% of it must be pumped back to the reactor as ammonium carbamate solution from lower pressure. In addition to the reducing pumping requirements, this process permits a substantial saving in steam requirement, since the operating temperature level of the ammonium carbamate condenser by utilizing the heat released by the condensing vapor. The NH3 to CO2 ratio used in Snamprogetti process is 3.3-3.6 : 1which combines with a temperature of 186-189 deg C and pressure of 155 Kg/cm2g approximately, permits a conversion yield in the reactor of 62 to 65%.
