Production of Urea Through ACES Process: Advanced Cost and Energy Saving Process

This document discusses urea production processes and focuses on the advantages of the ACES process. It begins by stating the problem of synthesizing urea through an advanced cost and energy saving process. It then outlines conventional and modern urea production processes such as the once through process and CO2 stripping process. The document argues that the ACES process is the best option as it has lower production and energy costs than other processes like the Stamicarbon and Snamprogetti processes. Specifically, the ACES process uses fewer, simpler equipment; operates at lower pressures; and recovers more process fluids and heat, making it more energy efficient and cost effective with easier operation.

To synthesize urea by advanced cost and


energy saving process

Urea Manufacturing Processes:

General processes available for urea production


are
1) Conventional Processes
2) Modern Processes

Conventional Processes:
Once Through Process
Partial Recycle Process
Total Recycle Process

Modern Processes

CO2 Stripping Process (Stamicarbon)

ACES Process

WHY ONLY ACES?

Stamicarbon Process

Snamprogetti Process

ACES Process

High production cost. High material of High production cost

Low production cost

construction cost

High energy cost

High energy cost/less energy recovery

Less treatment of pollutants

Carbon dioxide used as stripping agent but


NH3 in condenser which is more corrosive

Less

energy

cost/High

energy

Less treatment of pollutants

Low environment pollution.

NH3 is used as stripping agent

CO2 is used as a stripping agent and

carbamate solution in condenser

Less recovery of process fluids and heat

Less number of recovery equipments

Decomposers

Absorbers

Recovery equipments are greater in


number i-e

Decomposers

Absorbers

Evaporators

ACES Advantages:

Low Investment Cost


Reduction of construction cost (Low Elevation and Compact Layout)

Reactor on Ground Level

Simple synthesis loop and no gravity flow

Reduction of Equipment cost:

Less number of equipment in synthesis loop

Low Energy Consumption and running cost saving:


The operation condition of synthesis section is optimized under the lower operation pressure
than the previous process. As a result, a remarkable reduction in energy consumption is
achieved.

Easy Operation and High On-stream Factor


Forced flow of synthesis loop circulation by ejector and no gravity flow

Maintenance Cost Saving

Milder operating condition in synthesis loop (Less corrosion risk)

Use of Duplex stainless steel
