ABSTRAK
Urea adalah dalam banyak hal bentuk yang paling nyaman untuk nitrogen tetap. Ini
memiliki nitrogen tertinggi Isi tersedia dalam pupuk padat (46%). Mudah diproduksi sebagai
prill atau butiran dan mudah diangkut dalam jumlah besar atau tas tanpa bahaya bahan peledak.
Tidak meninggalkan residu garam setelah digunakan pada tanaman. Bobot spesifiknya adalah
1,335, terurai pada mendidih dan cukup larut dalam air. Bahan baku utama yang dibutuhkan
untuk tujuan ini adalah NH 3 & CO 2 .Dua reaksi yang terlibat dalam pembuatan urea. Pertama,
amonium karbamat terbentuk di bawah tekanan oleh reaksi antara CO 2 & NH 3 .

CO 2 + 2NH 3 → NH 2 COONH 4 ΔH = -37,4 Kcal

Reaksi eksotermik ini diikuti oleh dekomposisi endotermik dari amonium karbamat

NH 2 COONH 4 ↔ NH 2 CONH 2 + H 2 O ΔH = + 6,3 Kkal

Berbagai proses pembuatan urea adalah:


1) Proses Penghematan Biaya dan Hemat Energi (ACES)
2) proses pengupasan CO2 Stamicarbon
3) proses pengupasan ammonia Snamprogetti
4) Sekali melalui proses urea
Kami memilih proses Advanced Cost and Energy Saving untuk pembuatan urea. Itu
Preferensi proses ACES ke proses pembuatan urea lainnya akan dibahas secara singkat terlebih
dahulu bab. Beberapa keuntungan dari proses ACES meliputi konversi CO 2 tinggi , pengupasan
yang efisien, pemulihan panas maksimum, kurang korosi dan kualitas produk. Saldo energi &
neraca material tanaman dilakukan. Kapasitas pabrik yang dipilih adalah 6,00.000 ton / tahun
urea menghasilkan 75, 583,33 kg / jam urea dengan kemurnian 98,5%. Reaktor Urea dirancang
secara mekanis. Volume reaktor dihitung dan ditemukan 129 m 3 . Itu Panjang & diameter
reaktor masing masing 25 m & 2,5 m. Reaktor yang digunakan adalah steker jenis aliran
Biaya canggih dan proses Penghematan Energi melibatkan tinggi NH 3 untuk CO 2 rasio dalam
reaktor, Biasanya konversi 4/1 dan 66-68% CO 2 dilakukan. CO 2 digunakan sebagai agen
pengupasan tanah. NH 3 (l) adalah masuk ke dalam reaktor dan CO 2 (g) ke penari telanjang.

Penggunaan Urea:
• Sekitar 56% Urea diproduksi digunakan dalam pupuk padat.
• Sekitar 31% Urea diproduksi digunakan dalam pupuk cair.
• Resin urea-formaldehida banyak digunakan sebagai perekat kayu lapis.
• Resin melamin-formaldehid digunakan sebagai alat makan dan untuk membuat permukaan
ekstra keras.
Sifat subjek yang luas dan batasan ukuran membuat banyak area disentuh dengan sangat baik
Secara singkat, namun upaya telah dilakukan untuk mencakup segi topik yang signifikan.

Urea sintetis:
Ini adalah senyawa organik pertama yang disintesis secara artifisial dari anorganik
bahan awal, pada tahun 1828 oleh friedrich Wohler, yang menyiapkannya dengan reaksi
potasium sianat dengan sulfat maksimum. Meski Wohler sedang berusaha
Siapkan amonium bersinergi dengan pembuahan urea, dia secara tidak sengaja mendiskreditkan
vitalisme teori bahwa bahan kimia organisme hidup pada dasarnya
berbeda dengan benda mati, sehingga memulai disiplin organik
kimia.
Sintesis urea artifisial ini terutama relevan dengan kesehatan manusia karena
Siklus urea pada manusia. Urea ditemukan: sintesis pada hati manusia di Indonesia
untuk mengusir kelebihan nitrogen dari tubuh. Jadi di masa lalu urea tidak dipertimbangkan
sebagai bahan kimia untuk keperluan pertanian dan industri. Dalam 20
th
abad itu ditemukan
untuk menjadi yang terbaik untuk pupuk iatrogenik untuk tanaman dan digunakan secara luas
sebagai a
pupuk. Urea adalah pupuk utama di dunia pada tahun 1990an. Bagian dari
urea sedang digunakan di banyak industri lainnya.
Urea diproduksi dalam skala sekitar 100.000.000 ton per tahun di seluruh dunia. Untuk
Penggunaan di industri, urea berasal dari memproduksi amonia sintetis dan karbon dioksida.
Urea bisa diproduksi sebagai prillers, granul, serpih, pelet, kristal dan larutan.
Lebih dari 90% produksi dunia ditakdirkan untuk digunakan sebagai pupuk. Urea memiliki
kandungan nitrogen tertinggi dari semua pupuk nitrogen yang umum digunakan (46,7%).
Oleh karena itu, ia memiliki biaya transportasi terendah per unit gizi nitrogen. Urea
sangat larut dalam air dan oleh karena itu, juga sangat cocok untuk digunakan dalam pupuk
larutan (dalam kombinasi amonium nitrat).

1.3 PRODUKSI KOMERSIAL UREA
Urea diproduksi secara komersial dari dua bahan baku, amonia dan karbon
dioksida. Sejumlah besar karbon dioksida diproduksi selama pembuatan
amonia dari batu bara atau dari hidrokarbon seperti gas alam. Ini memungkinkan
sintesis langsung urea dari bahan baku ini. Produksi urea dari
amonia dan karbon dioksida terjadi dalam reaksi kesetimbangan dengan
konversi reaktan yang tidak lengkap
Berbagai proses urea ditandai dengan kondisi di mana dengan
Pembentukan urea berlangsung dan cara reaktan yang tidak bertukar
diproses lebih lanjut Reaktan yang tidak bertukar dapat digunakan untuk pembuatan
produk lain, misalnya amonium nitrat dan sulfat, atau bisa juga
didaur ulang untuk konversi lengkap ke urea dalam proses daur ulang total. Dua
Reaksi utama terjadi dalam pembentukan urea dari amonia dan karbon
dioksida.
Reaksi pertama adalah eksotermik:
2NH 3 + CO 2
H 2 N-COONH 4 (amonium karbamat)
Sedangkan reaksi kedua adalah endotermik
H 2 N-COONH 4
(NH 2 ) 2 CO + H 2 O
Kedua reaksi gabungan bersifat eksotermik.
2NH 3 + CO 2
(NH 2 ) 2 CO + H 2 O
Molekul urea adalah planar dan mempertahankan simetri molekulernya, karena
konjugasi dari satu dari setiap nitrogen "sp orbits ke ikatan rangkap karbonil".
Setiap atom oksigen karbonil menerima empat ikatan hidrogen NHO, yang sangat biasa
fitur untuk jenis ikatan semacam itu. Hidrogen padat (dan sangat menguntungkan) ini

(2) Penggunaan laboratorium
Urea adalah protein denaturant yang kuat. Properti ini bisa dimanfaatkan untuk meningkat
kelarutan beberapa protein. Urea digunakan untuk secara efektif mengganggu non
ikatan kovalen dalam protein. Urea merupakan bahan dalam sintesis urea nitrat.
(3) Penggunaan medis
• Urea digunakan dalam produk dermatologis topikal untuk meningkatkan rehidrasi
kulit. Jika ditutupi dengan saus oklusif, sediaan urea 40% mungkin
juga digunakan untuk debridemen nonsurgical pada kuku.
• Lihat nitrogen urea darah ("BUN") untuk tes urea yang umum dilakukan,
dan penanda fungsi ginjal.
• Urea berlabel isotopik (karbon 14 - radioaktif, atau karbon 13 - stabil
isotop) digunakan dalam tes nafas Urea, yang digunakan untuk mendeteksi
adanya Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori, bakteri) di perut
dan duodenum manusia. Tes mendeteksi enzim urea karakteristik,
diproduksi oleh H. pylori, dengan reaksi yang menghasilkan amonia dari urea.
Hal ini meningkatkan pH (mengurangi keasaman) pada lingkungan lambung
sekitar bakteri.

Beberapa proses digunakan untuk pembuatan urea. Beberapa dari mereka digunakan
Teknologi konvensional dan lainnya menggunakan teknologi modern untuk mencapai tingkat
tinggi
efisiensi. Proses ini memiliki beberapa keuntungan yang sebanding dan
kerugian berdasarkan biaya modal, biaya perawatan, biaya energi, efisiensi
dan kualitas produk. Beberapa proses produksi urea yang banyak digunakan adalah:
1. Proses Konvensional
2. Snamprogetti Amonia dan proses pengupasan diri
3. Proses daur ulang isobarik ganda
4. Proses Penghematan Biaya dan Hemat Energi (ACES)
2.1 PROSES KONVENSIONAL
(1) Sekali melalui Proses
Dalam proses ini amonia yang tidak dikonversi dinetralkan dengan asam seperti nitrat
asam untuk menghasilkan garam ammonium seperti amonium nitrat sebagai produk co
produksi urea Dengan cara ini, skema proses urea yang relatif sederhana adalah
menyadari. Kelemahan utama dari proses ini adalah jumlah besar
garam amonia terbentuk sebagai produk bersama dan jumlah karbon keseluruhan terbatas
konversi dioksida yang bisa diraih.
(1) Proses Recycle Konvensional
Di sini semua amonia dan karbon dioksida yang tidak dikonversi didaur ulang ke
reaktor urea Pada generasi pertama proses ini resirkulasi tidak bertobat
NH 3 dan CO 2 dilakukan dalam dua tahap. Resirkulasi pertama dioperasikan
pada tekanan sedang (18-25 bar), yang kedua pada tekanan rendah (2-5 bar). Pertama
resirkulasi terdiri dari setidaknya pemanas dekomposisi, di mana karbamat

Langkah dekomposisi pertama dikenai rektifikasi, dari mana relatif
Amonia murni di bagian atas dan produk dasarnya terdiri dari aqueous
larutan amonium karbamat diperoleh. Kedua produk tersebut didaur ulang
secara terpisah ke reaktor urea. Karena efek air yang merugikan
konversi reaksi, mencapai minimum CO 2 daur ulang sehingga mencapai maksimum
Konversi CO 2 lebih penting daripada mencapai daur ulang NH 3 yang rendah. Semua
Proses konvensional biasanya beroperasi pada rasio NH 3 : CO 2 yang tinggi
(4-5mole / mole) untuk memaksimalkan konversi CO 2 per pass. Meski beberapa di antaranya
Proses konvensional sebagian dilengkapi dengan pertukaran panas yang cerdik

urea, namun dilucuti pada tekanan sintesis oleh reaktor CO2 gas
aliran umpan dalam heat exchanger panas yang dipanaskan dengan uap. Stripper tekanan tinggi
beroperasi pada sekitar 140 atm & 190 o C. Solusi urea yang dilucuti masih mengandung
sekitar 15% karbamat yang belum dikonversi, & diturunkan sekitar 3 atm
Selanjutnya terjadi degassing pada steam decomposer tekanan rendah uap sekitar 120 o C.
Gas off yang dipulihkan dikondensasikan dengan air pendingin dalam tekanan rendah
kondensor, beroperasi pada suhu sekitar 65 o C & 3 atm. Solusi yang didapat adalah
dipompa ke kondensor tekanan tinggi dengan cara tekanan tinggi karbamat
pompa. Gas off yang dipulihkan dari stripper tekanan tinggi dikondensasi dalam
kondensor tekanan tinggi, yang beroperasi pada suhu sekitar 170 o C & 140 atm.
Panas kondensasi dilepaskan pada sisi shell kondensor oleh
menguapkan jumlah kondensat yang setara. 3,4 atm uap demikian
diproduksi dapat digunakan kembali di bagian lain tanaman.
Campuran gas & cairan yang dikeluarkan dari kondensor tekanan tinggi diumpankan ke
reaktor untuk pengeringan CO2 total untuk karbamat dan konversi berikutnya ke
urea Inerts dilepaskan dari reaktor melalui ventilasi air yang didinginkan
kondensator. Limbah reaktor, sekitar 185 o C & 140 atm, diberi makan sampai tinggi

Proses ini didasarkan pada prinsip daur ulang karbamat internal
teknik dan biasa disebut proses pengupasan Snam NH3. Dasar
Perbedaan antara proses Snam & larutan karbamat konvensional
Proses daur ulang urea adalah kenyataan bahwa dalam kasus ini karbamat yang belum dikonversi
dilucuti dan dipulihkan dari larutan efluen reaktor sintesis urea di reaktor
tekanan, dikondensasikan ke larutan berair dalam tekanan tinggi yang menghasilkan uap
kondensor, & daur ulang kembali ke reaktor dengan gravitasi. Bagian dari cairan NH3

2.3 SELEKSI PROSES
Diantara proses pembuatan urea di atas, proses ACES dipilih karena
Daripadanya memiliki kelebihan dibandingkan proses lainnya:
(1) Konversi CO 2 Tinggi dan Stripping yang Efisien
Proses ACES berfokus pada pengurangan penggunaan energi. Itu hanya mungkin lewat
Kombinasi konversi CO 2 yang tinggi dan pengupasan yang efisien. Itu menyebabkan
pengurangan konsumsi energi di bagian bawah. Ini sudah menjadi dasar
fitur proses ACES.
(2) Pemulihan Panas Maksimum
Proses ACES terbukti proses konsumsi energi paling rendah melalui mengikuti
teknologi.
➢ Panas kondensasi gas yang dilucuti digunakan untuk pembangkitan
5kg / cm
2
uap serta untuk memanaskan outlet penari telanjang.
➢ Panas kondensasi penyerap HP digunakan untuk menguapkan air di
bagian penguapan vakum
➢ Panas yang dibawa oleh gas pengupas uap kondensat dikonsumsi di
LPD
➢ Kondensat uap digunakan di MPD dan juga amonia dan urea
pra-pemanas
(3) Faktor On-stream tinggi
Proses ACES memungkinkan kita untuk memulai kembali pabrik kita menjadi 100% produksi
hanya dalam tiga
beberapa jam setelah masalah darurat shutdown. Ini semua karena amonia tinggi
untuk perbandingan molar karbon dioksida yang tidak hanya menurunkan pemadatan
suhu tapi juga membuat larutan sintesis tetap bertahan selama dua hari.

(4) kurang korosi
Kondensor stripper dan karbamat beroperasi pada kondisi korosif. Namun,
Toyo Corporation telah mengembangkan duplex-12 yang paling stabil terhadap korosi
dalam kondisi tertentu. Hal ini juga mengurangi jumlah oksigen yang diperkenalkan ke udara.
(5) Fleksibilitas
Rasio molar tinggi N / C memberikan fleksibilitas operasional. Perubahan kecil pada pakan
tidak akan mempengaruhi banyak reaksi yang diberikan. Selanjutnya, dua kondensator karbamat
juga
memungkinkan kita memanaskan larutan urea pada suhu yang dibutuhkan.
(6) Kurang Perawatan
Terlepas dari dioperasikan pada kondisi korosif, bahan proses ACES
seleksi mengurangi perawatan yang dibutuhkan. Scrubber dan reaktor dibuat dari
316L stainless steel dan kondensor plus stripper diproduksi dari dupleks
besi tahan karat.
(7) Pengendalian Pencemaran
Udara dari menara pendingin dicuci dengan larutan urea 30% untuk menghaluskan debu urea
dalam sistem pemulihan debu yang terletak di atas kolom. Hanya ada satu titik
untuk bocornya amoniak. Ini adalah ventilasi kolom pencucian dari tempat inert
dihapus Namun, udara relatif rendah, sehingga emisi amonia juga rendah.
Air yang menguap juga mengandung fraksi urea dan amonia kecil
dilepas di bagian uap kondensat. Jadi drainase tanaman urea akhirnya
terdiri dari 5ppm urea dan amonia.
(8) Kualitas Produk
Ukuran prill ukuran prill adalah 1,7 mm, lebih tinggi dari 1,4 mm yang dihasilkan oleh yang lain
teknologi.

Halaman 31
BAB 02: Proses Seleksi dan Deskripsi
22
Ukuran prill ini mungkin memiliki kelebihan sebagai berikut:
➢ Mudah penanganan produk
➢ Kekuatan menghancurkan yang tinggi
➢ Pembentukan debu yang kurang
➢ Kualitas yang diinginkan
2.4 PROSES DETAIL DESKRIPSI PROSES ACES
Proses ACES diperkenalkan oleh perusahaan TOYO in1980 sebagai pengganti
total proses daur ulang Sejak itu banyak pekerjaan telah dilakukan di
proses. Sekarang hari ini hanya menjadi biaya dan hemat energi karena prosesnya
efisiensi tinggi.
Proses produksi ini dimulai dengan dua bahan baku NH 3 dan CO 2. Amonia adalah
diumpankan ke reaktor ke bentuk cair pada suhu 55
()
C. Reaktor mengandung
pelat penyekat internal agar terhindar dari pencampuran kembali produk yang terbentuk. Urea ini
Solusi dikeluarkan dari reaktor melalui corong di atas. Saluran ini disimpan
dicelupkan ke dalam larutan untuk menghindari daur ulang dari penari telanjang. Aliran dari
karbamat
Kondensor yang dioperasikan pada suhu 176C juga diumpankan ke dasar reaktor. Aliran ini
terdiri
kebanyakan amonia, karbon dioksida. Melalui dua aliran ini, rasio molar N / C
Diumpankan ke reaktor adalah 4,1 dan kondisi operasi reaktor adalah 190c dan 175 bar. Saya t
memberikan 68% konversi CO 2 menjadi urea melalui dua langkah berikut:
CO 2 + 2NH 3 → NH 4 COONH 2
NH 4 COONH 2 → (NH 2 ) 2 CO + H 2 O
Sisa 32% bisa dikonversi hanya menjadi karbamat karena waktu tinggal.
Jika waktu tinggal lebih banyak diberikan pada larutan di reaktor, dekomposisi urea mungkin
terjadi
mulai. Limbah ini dengan konsentrasi urea 54% disalurkan ke penari telanjang di bawah
aliran gravitasi

Halaman 32
Produksi Urea dengan proses ACES
23
Stripper dari Toyo Corporation memiliki desain unik dari film jatuh yang ditemani
dengan pelat pemanas di bagian atas. Pelat membantu menghilangkan amonia akses
menurunkan rasio N / C menjadi 3,1 yang ideal untuk tujuan pengupasan. Bahkan
karbamat juga didekomposisi dan menghasilkan campuran gas cair
dipisahkan dengan stripping Solusi yang keluar dari reaktor sekitar 60-63%
urea dan 12-14% gas amonia. Kondisi pengoperasian penari telanjang adalah 175 bar
dan 180C. Amonia dan karbon dioksida dari atas penari telanjang didistribusikan pada
tabung kondensor Solusi daur ulang karbamat juga didistribusikan ke sana dan
Ini menyerap gas dan mengembunkannya. Umpan ke karbamat kondensor dua disimpan
sehingga memanaskan limbah bawah striper hingga 180
()
Sisa panas yang tersisa digunakan
untuk produksi uap pada kondensor NO 1 karbamat.
Bagian atas reaktor terkontaminasi dengan inert dan digosok dengan scrubber
washing it with recycle from absorption section to remove any quantities of
reactants accompanied with.
Effluent of stripper is lead towards Decomposition section. This section is
composed of two stages mentioned below.
1) MPDS (Medium Pressure Decomposition stage)
2) LPDS (Low Pressure decomposition stage)

carbamate condenser. This solution is fed to top of MPD where flashed and
decomposed gas is separated. Urea solution flows across falling-film
Temperature is kept around 158
Hai
C to save urea product from side reactions.
Further decomposition of carbamate takes place by heating via condensate. Puncak
gases of MP decomposer are sent towards absorption section.

Halaman 33
CHAPTER 02: Process Selection and Description
24
Bottom effluent of MP decomposer contains 70 wt% ammonia and 30 wt% CO 2.
This is fed to LPDS at decreased pressure of 2.5 bars. LP decomposer is
composed of sieve trays, packed bed and falling-film sections. Gaseous
ammonia is separated by flash and pressure force of upward coming gas. SEBUAH
small portion of fresh CO 2 from compressor of synthesis section is introduced
from bottom of LPD. Its purpose is to strip out the residual ammonia and carbon
dioxide completely. Carbamate is decomposed and removed as head stream.
This head stream of LPD is directed to absorption section. Exit stream of LPD
bottom is 70% urea containing and 0.4% ammonia.
Overhead streams of both stages of decomposition section are condensed and
absorbed into water coming from Condensate Treatment Section. This
carbamate solution is recycled back to scrubber's top for washing overhead
gaseous stream of reactor.
Solution from purification section is fed to evaporation section. It incorporates
two steps:
(i) Vacuum concentrator
(ii) Final concentrator
Each concentrator consists of two sections lower and upper. Solution is fed to
lower section of vacuum concentrator which is operated at 150mmHg and 77C.
Heat required for evaporation of water is obtained from absorption section
(HPA). This solution is then transmitted to upper section where vaporized water
is separated and resultant urea solution achieves concentration of 84%. Maka itu
lead to final concentrator operating at 132C and 25mmHg. It gives further
rectification of product up to 97.7% accompanied with Biuret and a small
fraction of moisture content.

Steam from concentration section contains urea as well as ammonia
contaminants. So it is further treated in Condensate Treatment Section. This
section prominently incorporates hydrolyser and stripper. Condensate is partially
sent towards absorption section and partly towards Condensate Stripper's top.
Steam is directly introduced from bottom. Stripped off gaseous mixture is sent
towards LPD. Rest of solution is ejected from mid of stripper and fed to
hydrolyser after heating. Effluent is returned to lower height of stripper. Saya t
practically gives water with CO 2 & NH3 fractions lower than 5ppm.
Molten urea from Evaporation Section is sent to finishing section. Solution is
sprayed into cooling tower and air is blown through the tower. Ini membantu
solidifying and production of prilled urea. Urea thus produced is collected on
scraper.

Pakistan is an agricultural country. Its economy mostly depends upon agricultural production.
This need is increasing exponentially with time for multiplying population. More over for
many years continually Pakistan is facing natural disasters in terms of earth quack, flood and
storm. These disasters also reduce fertility and production capacity of a country. Karenanya
demand of food from rest of area increases to meat necessities.
All these needs of Pakistan can be met only if some agricultural aid is provided to nation.
There would be no best assistance other than installing a urea plant. This plant is not only a
suitable for nation but also more economical for investment. Urea has best vicinity for export
from Pakistan as mostly region is agriculture dependent.

5.3 STRIPPER DESIGN
It is a unit operation in which one or more components of liquid stream are removed by
placing them in contact with a gas stream that is insoluble in liquid stream.
Functionality in the ACES loop:
➢ To strip ammonia (solute) in the urea synthesis effluent, where it is transferred from
the liquid phase to the gas phase, with the help of stripping agent which is carbon
dioxide here.
Selection criteria:
For using the stripper in ACES process several characteristics should be focused upon:
➢ Flow rate of liquid and gas streams, here our flow rates are very high and also the
liquid holdup is more so we are not using the packed column.
➢ Pressure within the column is very high; therefore our main preference should be the
use of plates within the column.
Within the choice of packing or plates the main factors governed are:
1.
Factors that depend on the system ie scale, foaming, fouling factors,
corrosive systems, heat evolution, pressure drop, liquid holdup.
2.
Factors that depend on the fluid flow moment.
3.
Factors that depends upon the physical characteristics of the column and
its internals ie maintenance, weight, side stream, size and cost.
➢ The relative merits of plate over packed column are as follows:
1.
Plate column are designed to handle wide range of liquid flow rates
without flooding.
2.
For large column heights, weight of the packed column is more than
plate column.
3.
If periodic cleaning is required, man holes will be provided for cleaning.
In packed columns packing must be removed before cleaning.

Halaman 73
CHAPTER 05: Process Design
64
4.
Design information for plate column is more readily available and more
reliable than that for packed column.
5.
When large temperature changes are involved, tray column are often
preferred because thermal expansion or contraction of the equipment
components may crush the packing.
➢ Vertical tubes have been used to provide heat from the external source (indirect
heating) within the stripper.
➢ The efficient stripper been used by us is TRAY FALLING FILM STRIPPER.
Utilization:
In our stripper the urea synthesis effluent firstly drops on plates and then after passing through
the tray stages, fall in two passes onto the tubes via swirl plate. There the tubes are placed
vertically, where CO 2 is coming from the bottom of the tubes as the stripping agent where it
strips NH 3 which is been present in excess and also form from the decomposition of
ammonium carbamate (with the help of steam) with CO 2 itself.
On plates presence of excess ammonia in urea synthesis effluent is even stripped off with the
help of gases coming out from the tubes.
Choice of Plate Type:
There are four main tray types, the bubble cap, sieve tray, ballast or valve trays and the
counter flow trays. We have selected sieve tray because:
1.
They are lighter in weight and less expensive. It is easier and cheaper to install.
2.
Pressure drop is low as compared to bubble cap trays.
3.
Peak efficiency is generally high.
4.
Maintenance cost is reduced due to the ease of cleaning.
5.
Tray geometry is available widely in literature.

5.5 CONDENSER DESIGN
A condenser is a two-phase flow heat exchanger in which heat is generated from the
conversion of vapor into liquid (condensation) and the heat generated is removed from the
system by a coolant.
Types of Condensers:
➢ Steam Turbine Exhaust Condensers / surface condensers
➢ Plate Condensers
➢ Air-Cooled Condensers
➢ Direct Contact Condensers
➢ Shell & tube type
Selection of Condenser Configuration:
Four Condenser Configurations are Possible,
➢ Horizontal with condensation in shell side and cooling medium in the tubes.
➢ Horizontal with condensation in tube side cooling medium in shell side.
➢ Vertical with condensation in the shell.
➢ Vertical with condensation in the tubes.
Horizontal shell side and vertical tube side are the most commonly used types of condensers.
In this process we have used the horizontal with condensation in shell side & cooling medium
in tube.
Process Design of Carbamate Condenser:
The ACES process has two parallel carbamate condensers. One is for low pressure steam
generation and the other is for heating urea solution for MP decomposition stage. Karena itu,
each carbamate condenser size is relatively small compared to the reactor and the stripper.
Both are vertical falling film type condensers.
Carbamate Condenser functions to condense NH 3 and CO 2 gas from the stripper to form
ammonium Carbamate and synthesize urea by dehydration of ammonium Carbamate.
Vertical submerged design is employed for the Carbamate condenser from process view point.

Halaman 84
Production of Urea by ACES process

This provides the following advantages:
➢ High gas velocity, appropriate gas hold up and sufficient liquid depth in the bubble
column promote mass and heat transfer.
➢ A vertical design inevitably requires smaller plot area .
Designing Steps of Condenser:
➢ Heat Balance.
➢ Assumed Calculations.
➢ Calculations of Heat Transfer Coefficients.
➢ Calculations of Pressure Drops.

5.7 EVAPORATOR DESIGN
In case of climbing film evaporator, the liquid feed enters the evaporator through bottom
header and moves upward through tubes. It receives heat from the heating media on shell side.
The vapour is generated in the tubes which start rising up pulling the liquid in the film form.
The vapour and liquid enters the vapour-liquid separator where they are separated. Vapour
moves upward to vapour nozzle while the concentrate moves down to concentrate nozzle.
This is useful during evaporation of highly viscous and fouling solutions.
Figure 5.2 Structure of climbing-film type evaporator
Features:
➢ Cost effective construction, ideal for simple evaporation, concentration applications.
➢ Ideal for volume reduction of dilute streams.
➢ Can be used under recirculation mode.
➢ Continuous operation.
➢ Good for moderately heat sensitive products.

5.9 DESIGN OF ABSORBER
The removal of one or more component from the mixture of gases by using a suitable solvent
is second major operation of Chemical Engineering that based on mass transfer.
In gas absorption a soluble vapors are more or less absorbed in the solvent from its mixture
with inert gas. The 'purpose of such gas scrubbing operations may be any of the following;
Sebuah)
For Separation of component having the economic value.
b)
As a stage in the preparation of some compound.
c)
For removing of undesired component (pollution).
Types of Absor5srs:
There are two major types of absorbers which are used for absorption purposes:
➢ Packed column
➢ Plate column
Comparison Between Packed And Plate Column:
1)
The packed column provides continuous contact between vapor and liquid phases
while the plate column brings the two phases into contact on stage wise basis.
2)
SCALE: For column diameter of less than approximately 3 ft. It is more usual to
employ packed towers because of high fabrication cost of small trays. But if the
column is very large then the liquid distribution is problem and large volume of
packing and its weight is problem.
3)
PRESSURE DROP: Pressure drop in packed column is less than the plate column. Di
plate column there is additional friction generated as the vapor passes through the
liquid on each tray. If there are large No. of Plates in the tower, this pressure drop may
be quite high and the use of packed column could effect considerable saving.
4)
LIQUID HOLD UP: Because of the liquid on each plate there may be an Urge
quantity of the liquid in plate column, whereas in a packed tower the liquid flows as a
thin film over the packing.
5)
SIZE AND COST: For diameters of less than 3 ft. packed tower require lower
fabrication and material costs than plate tower with regard to height, a packed column
is usually shorter than the equivalent plate column.

Page 98
Production of Urea by ACES process
89
From the previous consideration packed column is selected as the absorber, because in our
case the diameter of the column is approximately 0.8 meter which is less than 3 ft. As the
solubility is infinity so the liquid will absorb as much gases as it remain in contact with gases
so packed tower provide more contact. It is easy to operate.
Selection of Packed Column:
➢ Continuous contacting device.
➢ Packed columns operate over a wide range of air flow rates.
➢ Packed columns are suitable for foaming liquids.
➢ In packed columns two streams never reach equilibrium
Thus most packing is made of cheap, inert, fairly light materials such as clay, porcelain, or
graphite. Thin-walled metal rings of steel or aluminum are some limes used.
Common Packing's are:
➢ Berl Saddle.
➢ Intalox Saddle.
➢ Rasching rings.
➢ Single spiral ring.
➢ Double - Spiral ring.
➢ Triple - Spiral ring .
Designing Steps For Absorption Column:
➢ Determining the approximate dia of the column
➢ Selection of column.
➢ Selection of packing and material
➢ Calculating the size of packing
➢ Calculating the actual dia of column
➢ Finding the no. of transfer units (No G )
➢ Determining the height of packing
➢ Determining the height of the column
➢ Determining the pressure

5.11 SELECTION OF PUMP
Pumps are used to transfer fluids from one location to another. The pump accomplishes this
transfer by increasing the pressure of the fluid and, thereby, supplying the driving force
necessary for flow. Power must be delivered to the pump from some outside source. Demikian,
electrical or steam energy may be transformed into mechanical energy which is used to drive
pompa. Part of this mechanical energy is added to the fluid as work energy, and the rest is
lost as friction due to inefficiency of the pump and drive.
The different types of pumps commonly employed in industrial operations can be classified as
berikut:
➢ Reciprocating or positive-displacement pumps with valve action: piston pumps,
diaphragm pumps, plunger pumps.
➢ Rotary positive-displacement pumps with no valve action: gear pumps, lobe pumps,
screw pumps, eccentric-cam pumps, metering pumps.
➢ Rotary centrifugal pumps with no valve action: open impeller, closed impeller, volute
pumps, and turbine pumps.
➢ Air-displacement systems: air lifts, acid eggs or blow cases, jet pumps, barometric
legs.
Factors influence the final choice of a pump:
Many different factors can influence the final choice of a pump for a particular operation. Itu
following list indicates the major factors that govern pump selection:
1. The amount of fluid that must be pumped. This factor determines the size of pump (or
pumps) necessary.
2. The properties of the fluid. The density and the viscosity of the fluid influence the
power requirement for a given set of operating conditions; corrosive properties of the
fluid determine the acceptable materials of construction.
3. The increase in pressure of the fluid due to the work input of the pumps.
4. The head change across the pump is influenced by the inlet and downstream-reservoir
pressures, the change in vertical height of the delivery line, and frictional effects. This
factor is a major item in determining the power requirements.

Halaman 108
Production of Urea by ACES process
99
5. Type of flow distribution. If non pulsating flow is required, certain types of pumps,
such as simplex reciprocating pumps, may be unsatisfactory. Similarly, if operation is
intermittent, a self-priming pump may be desirable, and corrosion difficulties may be
increased.
6. Type of power supply. Rotary positive-displacement pumps and centrifugal pumps are
readily adaptable for use with electric-motor or internal-combustion- engine drives;
reciprocating pumps can be used with steam or gas drives.
7. Cost and mechanical efficiency of the pump.
Selected Pump:
From above factors that influence the pump selection, we select “HP centrifugal” for
pumping the Ammonia to the reactor.
Advantages of centrifugal pump
➢ They are simple in construction and cheap.
➢ Fluid is delivered at uniform pressure without shocks or pulsations.
➢ They can be coupled directly to motor drives. In general, the higher the speed, the
smaller the pump and motor required for a given duty.
➢ The discharge line may be partly shut off or completely closed off without damaging
pompa.
➢ They can handle liquid with large amounts of solids.
➢ There are no valves involved in the pump operation.
➢ Maintenance costs are lower than for other types of pumps.

5.13 SELECTION OF COMPRESSOR
Movement of gases can be accomplished by use of fans, blowers, vacuum pumps, and
kompresor. Fans are useful for moving gases when pressure differences less than about 0.5
psi are involved. Centrifugal blowers can handle large volumes of gases, but the delivery
pressure is limited to approximately 50 psig. Reciprocating compressors can be employed
over a wide range of capacities and pressures, and they are used extensively in industrial
operasi. Sizes of reciprocating compressors ranging from less than 1 to 3000 hp are
available, and some types can give delivery pressures as high as 4000 atm.
Steps Involved in Compressor Calculations:
➢ Selection of Compressor Type according to requirement
➢ Calculation of Compressor Work for Single Stage
➢ Calculation of Discharge Temperature for Single Stage
➢ Calculation of Compressor Work and Discharge Temperature for Two Stages
➢ Calculation of Compressor Power for two stages
➢ Calculation of motor Power for two stages
Important Conditions Required for Calculations:
➢ Temperature = 25 o
C = 298 K
➢ Inlet Pressure P 1 = 1.01325 bar = 101325 pa
➢ Outlet pressure P 2 = 175 bar = 17500000 pa
➢ Mass flow rate into the compressor = 55371.54 = 15.38
➢ Molecular weight of fluid (CO 2 ) = 44
➢ Molar flow rate into the compressor =
.
= 0.35
.
➢ Density of CO 2 = 209.9
➢ Inlet volumetric flow rate =
.
. = 0.07
Selection of Compressor Type:
There are different types of compressors used in chemical and petrochemical industries,
Centrifugal and Positive Displacement Compressors are two main types. We select
“Centrifugal and Axial Compressor” for compress the CO 2 before entering the stripper, due to
alasan berikut:

Page 112
Production of Urea by ACES process
103
➢ Both centrifugal and axial units are continuous-flow compressors. Centrifugal
compressors, in general, are used for higher pressure ratios and lower flow rates.
➢ The pressure ratio in a single-stage centrifugal compressors used in petrochemical
industries is about 1.2 : 1
➢ Because of the low pressure ratios for each stage, a single compressor may include a
number of stages in one casing to achieve the desired overall pressure ratio.
➢ The operating ratio of a centrifugal compressor is between that of surge, which is the
lower flow limit of stable operation, and choke, which is the maximum flow through
the compressor at a given operating speed.

6.1 MECHANICAL DESIGN OF REACTOR
The mechanical design of a reactor resemble with that of a pressure vessel. Hal ini umumnya
accepted that any closed vessel over 150 mm diameter, subjected to a pressure difference of
more than 1 bar, should be designed as a pressure vessel.
There are two types of vessels normally:
➢ Thin walled vessels
➢ Thick walled vessels
Our urea reactor is designed as thin walled vessel because it satisfies the condition that the
ratio of wall thickness to wall diameter is less than 1:10.
Basic design data required by a specialist designer will include followings:
➢ Vessel function
➢ Process materials and services
➢ Operating and design temperatures and pressures
➢ Material of construction
➢ Vessel dimensions and orientation
➢ Types of vessel heads to be used
➢ Opening and connections required
➢ Specifications of heating and cooling jackets or coils
➢ Specifications of internal fittings
Steps to be followed for designing a reactor:
➢ Vessel dimensions
➢ Material of construction selection
➢ Thickness of the shell required
➢ Type of trays required
➢ Total pressure drop estimation
➢ Head selection and thickness calculations
➢ Weight of the shell calculations
➢ Stress Calculations

From above given criterion, we select hemispherical head for our case because of the
alasan berikut:
➢ Pressure inside the tank must not be fluctuating, therefore head should be so
tightly fixed with cylindrical shell and no leakage should be there. Untuk ini
purpose, best recommendations are for hemispherical heads.
➢ Its thickness calculations are easier than those for other two head types.
➢ Cost of forming these types of heads is lower than that for other two head types.

Selection of Vessel Support:
The method used to support a vessel depends on:
➢ Size, shape and weight of the vessel
➢ The design temperature and pressure
➢ The vessel location and arrangement
➢ Internal and external fittings and attachments
Skirt support is selected for urea reactor. Skirt Support has following advantages:
➢ A skirt support consists of a cylindrical or conical shell welded to the base of the
kapal. A flange at the bottom of the skirt transmits the load to the foundations.
➢ Skirt supports are recommended for vertical vessels as they do not impose
concentrated loads on the vessel shell.

7.1 INSTRUMENTATION & CONTROL
A chemical plant is combination of many integrated units which are responsible for
converting raw materials into useful products. During its operation a plant has to satisfy many
operating conditions and requirements specified by designer. Such requirements ask for
continuous checking system for a chemical plant. This system guarantees the satisfaction of
operational objectives. System is composed of equipments and humane support and known as
Instrumentation and process control.
(1) Safer Plant Operation
➢ To keep the process variables within known safe operating limits.
➢ To detect dangerous situations as they develop and to provide alarms and
automatic shut-down systems.
➢ To provide inter locks and alarms to prevent dangerous operating procedures
(2) Production Rate
➢ To achieve the design product output.
(3) Product Quality
➢ To maintain the product composition within the specified quality standards
(4) Cost
➢ To operate at the lowest production cost, commensurate with the other
tujuan.
These are not separate objectives and must be considered together. The order in which they
are listed is not meant to imply the precedence of any objective over another, other than that
of putting safety first. Product quality, production rate and the cost of production will be
dependent on sales requirements. For example, it may be a better strategy to produce a better
quality product at a higher cost.
In a typical chemical processing plant these objectives are achieved by a combination of
automatic control, manual monitoring and laboratory analysis.

CHAPTER 07: Instrumentation and Process Control
116
7.2 COMPONENTS OF CONTROL SYSTEM
(1) Process
Process is defined as series of steps which are used to produce final desired product
from available raw materials. In this discussion the process is synthesis of urea.
(2) Control
Control is defined as use of techniques for fixing the given parameters of process
around required value. Sometimes we also use term process control for same meanings.
Parameter which is to be kept fixed is measured by some output variables ranging from
temperature to time and distance measurements. This signal is forwarded to a device which
compares the two values and sends error to final control element to take action. Ada
three main parts of a control system.
1. Sensor
( sensor, transducer and transmitter)
2. Controller ( processor, memory and summing circuit)
3. Final Control Element
( actuator, power control circuit )
(3) Control Loop
A control loop is a process management system which is designed to manipulate input
variable around set point. A control loop is said to be made of three or four steps listed below:
(saya)
Merasakan
(ii) compare
(iii) respond
(iv) Action
Control loops used in industries are mainly of two types:
➢ Feed Forward Control Loop
➢ Feed Backward Control Loop
Feed forward control loop measures disturbances and manipulates the controlled variable
langsung. While in feed backward control loop, we measure controlled variable and manipulate
the disturbances .
Classification of Controllers:
In general the process controllers can be classified as:
1. Pneumatic controllers
2. Electronic controllers
3. Hydraulic controllers

Halaman 126
Production of Urea by ACES process
117
In the urea manufacturing, the controller and the final control element may be pneumatically
operated due to the following reasons:
➢ The pneumatic controller is very rugged and almost free of maintenance. Itu
maintenance men have not had sufficient training and background in electronics, so
basically pneumatic equipment is simple.
➢ The pneumatic controller appears to be safer in a potentially explosive atmosphere
which is often present in the urea.
➢ Transmission distances are short. Pneumatic and electronic transmission systems are
generally equal up to about 250 to 300 feet. Above this distance, electronic systems
begin to offer savings .
Modes of Control:
The various types of control are called "modes" and they determine the type of response
diperoleh. In other words these describe the action of the controller that is the relationship of
output signal to the input or error signal. It must be noted that it is error that actuates the
pengontrol. The four basic modes of control are:
1. On-off Control
2. Integral Control
3. Proportional Control
4. Rate or Derivative Control
In industry purely integral, proportional or derivative modes seldom occur alone in the control
sistem. The On-off controller is the controller with very high gain. In this case the error
signal at once off the valve or any other parameter upon which it sits or completely sets the
sistem.
Alarms and Safety Trips and Interlocks:
Alarms are used to alert operators of serious, and potentially hazardous, deviations in process
kondisi. Key instruments are fitted with switches and relays to operate audible and visual
alarms on the control panels.

Halaman 127
CHAPTER 07: Instrumentation and Process Control
118
The basic components of automatic trip systems are:

A sensor to monitor the control variable and provide an output signal when a
preset valve is exceeded (the instrument).

A link to transfer the signal to the actuator usually consisting of a system of
pneumatic or electric relays.

An actuator to carry out the required action; close or open a valve, switch off a
motor.
A safety trip can be incorporated in control loop; as shown in figure. In this system the high-
temperature alarm operates a solenoid valve, releasing the air on the pneumatic activator
closing the valve on high temperature.
Interlocks
Where it is necessary to follow the fixed sequence of operations for example, during a plant
start-up and shut-down, or in batch operations-inter-locks are included to prevent operators
departed from the required sequence. They may be incorporated in the control system design,
as pneumatic and electric relays or may be mechanical interlocks .
7.3 TYPICAL CONTROL SYSTEMS
Measurement is defined as the extraction from physical and chemical systems or processes of
signals, which represent parameters or variable. The performance of an automation system
can never surpass that the associated measuring devices. A basic example is a human being.
1. Temperature Measurement and Control
Temperature measurement is used to control the temperature of outlet and inlet streams in
heat exchangers, reactors, etc. Most temperature measurements in the industry are made by
means of thermo-couples to facilitate bringing the measurements to centralized location. Untuk
local measurements at the equipment bi-metallic or filled system thermometers are used to a
lesser extent. Usually, for high measurement accuracy, resistance thermometers are used.
2. Pressure Measurement and Control
Like temperature pressure is a valuable indication of material state and composition. Faktanya,
these two measurements considered together are the primary evaluating devices of industrial
materials. Pumps, compressor and other process equipment associated with pressure changes

Halaman 128
Production of Urea by ACES process
119
in the process material are furnished with pressure measuring devices. Thus pressure
measurement becomes an indication of energy increase or decrease.
Most pressure measurement in industry is elastic element devices, either directly connected
for local use or transmission type to centralized location. Most extensively used industrial
pressure element is the Bourden Tube or a Diaphragm or Bellows gauges.
3. Level Controller
Liquid levels are detected in a variety of ways. The three most common are:
Following the position of a float, that is lighter then fluid
Measuring the apparent weight of a heavy cylinder as it buoyed up more or less by the liquid
(these are called displacement meters).
Measuring the difference in static pressure between two fixed elevations, one in the vapors
above the liquid and the other under the liquid surface
The differential pressure between the two level taps is directly related to the liquid level in
kapal.
4. Flow Measurement and Control
Flow-indicator-controllers are used to control the amount of liquid. Also all manually set
streams require some flow indication or some easy means for occasional sample
pengukuran. For accounting purposes, feed and product stream are metered. Sebagai tambahan
utilities to individual and grouped equipment are also metered. Most flow measures in the
industry are/ by Variable Head devices. To a lesser extent Variable Area is used, as are the
many available types as special metering situations arise.
These are used to control feed rate into a process unit. Orifice plates are by far the most type
of flow rate sensor. Normally, orifice plates are designed to give pressure drops in the range
of 20 to 200inch of water. Venture tubes and turbine meters are also used.

7.4 CONSIDERATION OF PFR IN ACES UREA PLANT
➢ Level Measurement
A sensor measures a level of reacting fluids inside PFR and signals to controller. If level is
below or above the given level signal is sent towards the exit stream control element at urea
larutan. As a result it throttles between open-closed situations.
➢ Temperature Measurement
In PFR operation, temperature is controlled by controlling the flow rate of water inside
reaktor. This water removes heat from reactor by absorption of heat. In case that temperature
is raised inside, water inlet valve is opened and it removes higher amounts of heat from
reactor while stabilizing temperature.
➢ Composition Measurement
A sensor for measuring composition is also introduced into system as higher N/C ratio will
cause energy load on plant. Similarly, lower ratio will cause less conversion leading towards
in-economic process.
For this reason, composition controller checks the valve on fresh ammonia stream maintain
N/C ratio around 4/1.

8.1 HAZARD AND OPERABILITY STUDY (HAZOP)
A HAZOP survey is one of the most common and widely accepted methods of systematic
qualitative hazard analysis. It is used for both new or existing facilities and can be applied to a
whole plant, a production unit, or a piece of equipment It uses as its database the usual sort of
plant and process information and relies on the judgment of engineering and safety experts in
the areas with which they are most familiar. The end result is, therefore reliable in terms of
engineering and operational expectations, but it is not quantitative and may not consider the
consequences of complex sequences of human errors. The objectives of a HAZOP study can
diringkas sebagai berikut:
➢ To identify areas of the design that may possess a significant hazard potential.
➢ To identify and study features of the design that influence the probability of a
hazardous incident occurring.
➢ To familiarize the study team with the design information available.
➢ To ensure that a systematic study is made of the areas of significant hazard
potensi.
➢ To identify pertinent design information not currently available to the team.
8.2 STEPS CONDUCTED IN HAZOP STUDY

8.3 SAFETY OF THE UREA PLANT
It is must to consider occupational safety and health when designing a manufacturing plant.
Safety is the major factor in any industrial process to safeguard employees, environment,
surrounding living peoples etc. Also there are legal obligations which are imposed by
government for chemical processing factories to operate and maintain.
When considering the safety, it is mainly due to the risk of urea which is the main product of
plant and ammonia; one of the main raw materials for production and risk caused by other
intermediate product.
Safety factors relevant to urea:
Stability and Reactivity
➢ Produce biuret when expose to heat.
➢ Urea has high solubility. So it should store under dry conditions.

9.1 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
An Environment Impact Assessment is an assessment of the possible positive impact or
negative impact which the project may have on the natural environment. Tujuan dari
assessment is to ensure that decision makers consider environmental impacts used to decide
whether to proceed with the project. The International Association for Impact Assessment
(IAIA) defines an environmental impact assessment as "the process of identifying, predicting,
evaluating and mitigating the biophysical, social, and other relevant effects of development
proposal sebelum keputusan utama diambil dan komitmen dibuat.
Objectives of EIA Assessment:

environment influenced by their proposals
➢ To ensure that best practicable measures are taken to minimize adverse impacts on the
environment, and that proposals meet relevant environmental objectives and standards
to protect the environment, and implement the principles of sustainability
➢ To provide opportunities for local community and public participation, as appropriate,
during the assessment of proposals
➢ To encourage proponents to implement continuous improvement in environmental
performance and the application of best practice environmental management in

9.2 IMPACT OF THE UREA PLANT ON THE ENVIRONMENT
In the early part of previous decade ammonia consumption per ton of final product of 575 kg
or even higher used to be acceptable. This figure implies however a loss of some 8 kg per
tonne of final product produced (Table 9.1), which for a 2000 mtd plant would result in a loss
of 16 mtpd ammonia either in the form of urea or straight ammonia. Presently ammonia
consumptions of some 567 kg per tonne are released in the large single stream plants. Sejak
this figure is very close to the theoretical consumption figure, the conclusion is that losses in
steady operation are approaching the zero targets.
Table 9.1 Ammonia releases from urea plants
Early nineteen eighties
8 kg NH3/mt final product
Presently
0.7 kg NH3/mt final product
Not only ammonia, carbon dioxide and urea releases from process plants have a negative
influence on the environment but also the unnecessary use of energy is negative from an
environmental point of view and from the economic point of view as well .
9.3 EMISSIONS TO AIR
Air emissions may be categorized as either fugitive or point source emissions.
➢ Fugitive Emissions
These are emissions that are not released through a vent or stack. Examples of fugitive
emissions include dust from stockpiles, volatilization of vapor from vats, open vessels, or
spills and materials handling. Emissions emanating from ridgeline roof-vents and open doors
of a building as well as equipment leaks, and leaks from valves and flanges are also examples
of fugitive emissions .
➢ Point Source Emissions
These emissions are exhausted into a vent or stack and emitted through a single point source
into the atmosphere. Above table highlights common air emissions from urea manufacturing
proses .

Halaman 141
Production of Urea by ACES process
131
9.4 EMISSIONS TO WATER
Emissions of substances to water can be categorized as discharges to:
➢ Surface waters (eg. lakes, rivers, dams, and estuaries);
➢ Coastal or marine waters
➢ Storm water
Because of the significant environmental hazards posed by emitting toxic substances to water,
most facilities emitting above listed substances to waterways are required by the relevant
environment authority to closely monitor and measure these emissions. The existing sampling
data can be used to calculate annual emissions. If no wastewater monitoring data exists,
emissions to process water can be calculated based on a mass balance or using emission
faktor.
9.5 EMISSIONS TO LAND
Emissions of substances to land on-site include solid wastes, slurries, and sediments.
Emissions arising from spills, leaks, and storage and distribution of materials containing listed
substances may also occur to land. These emission sources can be broadly categorized as:
➢ Surface impoundments of liquids and slurries; dan
➢ Unintentional leaks and spills.
In general, there are four types of emission estimation techniques (EETs) that may be used to
estimate emissions from the facility. Keempat tipe tersebut adalah:
➢ Sampling or direct measurement;
➢ Mass balance;
➢ Fuel analysis or other engineering calculations; dan
➢ Emission factors.

Halaman 142
CHAPTER 09: Environmental Impact
132
9.6 ELIMINATION METHODS
Presently plants are equipped with the following features to keep the effluent and emission at
extremely low levels:
1. N/C ratio meter
2. Waste water treatment section
3. Absorbers
4. Special operational facilities
1. N/C ratio meter in the Synthesis section
Instead of using a gas chromatograph or a mass spectrometer in the gas phase of the synthesis
section, Nitrogen/Carbon (N/C) ratio meters are installed in the liquid phase (reactor liquid
outlet) of the urea synthesis section. The principle of this N/C meter is based on the linear
relationship between liquid density and the N/C ratio. The density is measured continuously
with a solartron meter, being an instrument in which vibrations are measured in an extremely
accurate way whereby the vibrations are a measure of the density of the reactor liquid.
This N/C ratio meter allows the process at all times to be operated at the optimum ratio to
achieve highest reactor efficiency combined with higher energy efficiency. Special procedures
are used to eliminate emissions during start-up.
2. Urea plant waste water treatment section
The process water in urea plants contains ammonia, carbon dioxide and urea. Itu
concentrations of these components vary within a range depending on the operating
conditions, On average, the concentrations in the process water are about 6 wt.% ammonia, 4
wt.% carbon dioxide and 1 wt.% urea.
Sources of the ammonia and urea are:
➢ Condensate from the evaporators.
➢ Off-gases from the recirculation section, which are absorbed in the process water.
➢ Off-gases from the synthesis section, which are absorbed in the process water.
➢ Flush and purge water for pumps.
➢ Liquid drains.
The purpose of the process water treatment is to remove ammonia, carbon dioxide and urea
from the process condensate. For every tonne of urea produced, approximately 0.3 tonnes of
water are formed. This water is usually discharged from the urea concentration and

Halaman 143
Production of Urea by ACES process
133
evaporation section of the plant. Removal of ammonia and urea from wastewaters can be a
problem as it is difficult to remove one in the presence of the other.
One method used to overcome this problem is the hydrolysis of urea to ammonium carbamate,
which is decomposed to ammonia and carbon dioxide. These gases can then be stripped from
the wastewaters. Urea plants are in operation that produces wastewaters with ammonia and
urea levels below 1ppm. This water can then be used for a variety of purposes depending on
the required quality suchas cooling water or Boiling Feed Water make-up. The recovered
ammonia and carbon dioxide are returned to the process to be subsequently converted into
urea.
3. Absorbers
Absorbers are used in urea plant to eliminate emissions to the atmosphere, can be classified as
berikut:
The vent from the synthesis section of the plant
The purge from the urea synthesis section contains inerts, ammonia and carbon
dioksida. To avoid ammonia emissions from this purge a low pressure absorber is installed in
purge stream. First the ammonia is washed out with a large flow of low concentrated and
cooled process water and secondly the remaining ammonia is absorbed in cooled condensate
or clean waste water.
The vent from the low pressure section of the plant
The ammonia and carbon dioxide present in the off gases of the recirculation section, the
Process Water Treatment System and the evaporation section are washed out in an
atmospheric absorber where large amounts of cooled low concentrated process water are used
to absorb all the ammonia present in off gases.
4. Special start-up, shut-down and draining facilities
A change in the start-up procedure of the urea synthesis section has reduced the impact on the
environment considerably. Presently the ability to measure the feed flows (NH 3 and CO 2 )
very accurate in combination with the ability to measure the N/C ratio have enabled us to feed
the synthesis section from the very beginning of the start-up with the correct NH 3 /CO 2 ratio,
thus eliminating the need, during the initial stage of start-up, to vent excess CO 2 accompanied
by some NH 3 into the atmosphere.
Special shut-down and draining facilities assure that non converted NH 3 and CO 2 are
recovered by the process after a shut-down.

Before the plant to be operated, specified money must be supplied to purchase and install the
peralatan. The capital needed to supply the necessary plant facilities is called fixed capital
investment while that for the operation of the plant is called the working principal and sum of
two capitals is called total capital investment.
An acceptable plant design must present a process that is capable of operating under
conditions which will yield a profit. Sejak,
Net profit = total income - all expenses
It is essential that chemical engineer be aware of the many different types of cost involved in
proses manufaktur. Capital must be allocated for direct plant expenses; such as those
for raw materials, labor, and equipment. Besides direct expenses, many other indirect
expenses are incurred, and these must be included if a complete analysis of the total cost is to
didapat. Some examples of these indirect expenses are administrative salaries, product
distribution costs and cost for interplant communication .
