Disclosed is a method for the removal of ammonia from the off-gas of a finishing section of a urea production plant. Also disclosed is a corresponding urea plant, and a method of accordingly modifying a pre-existing urea plant. In a scrubbing section, the off-gas is brought into contact with an acidic scrubbing liquid so as to provide a scrubbed off-gas and a utilized scrubbing liquid comprising ammonium salt. The method specifies an evaporation section, which is part of the urea plant that produces urea melt, that is divided into first and second stages. The first stage is part of the urea melt production plant. The second stage decoupled, as regards recirculation of liquids other than the urea product stream, from the urea melt production plant. This is accomplished by sending utilized scrubbing liquid that contains ammonium salts to the second stage evaporation section, and by sending condensed vapours from said second stage evaporation section to said scrubbing section.

A urea production process which includes and a synthesis section, a recovery section and evaporation section and a finishing section wherein the evaporation section includes a first evaporator and downstream thereof a second evaporator for urea solution. The second evaporator operates a lower pressure than the first evaporator to provide a urea melt and second vapor, solidifying the urea melt in a finishing section to provide a solid urea produce and off gas, scrubbing the off gas followed by condensing to produce a first condensate and second condensate; supplying the first condensate to a wastewater treatment section and supply the second condensate to the scrubber wherein the second condensate is used as a scrub liquid in the scrubber.

Urea production with multiple evaporators

A fluidized bed granulator for granulation with urea or urea-containing liquids is described, wherein the granulation liquid is supplied via a supply manifold comprising a header and risers. The risers are at least in part provided inside channels for secondary gas.
