Urea Casale Sa

Mario Dente

Urea is formed by the synthesis of ammonia with carbon dioxide at high pressure and temperature in an internal space of reactors through which flow a liquid phase cocurrently with a gas phase. The reactors are divided into compartments to avoid excessive mixing of the entire liquid phase and to allow the intermittent redistribution of the gas in bubbles of a suitable size for increasing the transfer of heat and mass between the two phases. At each passage from one compartment to the next, the liquid phase and the gas phase are made to flow on separate routes and are distributed in each compartment with a continuous, permanent, and even flow.
