This document provides information about the training received at National Fertilizers Limited (NFL) in Vijaipur, Guna, Madhya Pradesh, India. It discusses NFL's urea production process, including the key reactions, parameters, and equipment involved. It also provides specifications for the prilling tower and categories of urea produced. NFL is one of India's largest nitrogenous fertilizer producers and the first permitted to make neem-coated urea. It has four production units with a total daily urea production capacity of 5740 tons.

3. Introduction about NFL
NFL is one of the largest contributor of nitrogenous
fertilizer in the country. It was started on 23 august
1974.
It is the first company to be permitted by Govt. of
india to produce and market neem coated urea.
Four units line 1 ammonia line 2 ammonia
line 1 urea line 2 urea
CPP and waste heat reboiler
DM water plant supplies water to Boiler feed water
(BFW)
4. Capacity of plant
Line 1: 11 stream = 1510 tpd
12 stream = 1310 tpd
Line 2: 31 stream = 1610 tpd
41 stream = 1310 tpd
Total production = line 1 + line 2 = 5740 tpd
Each bag is filled up by 50 kg of urea
So total bags per day = 114800 bags
5. UREA
Molecular weight = 60.06
M.P =132.7 degrees
Density = 1.3335 g/cm3
Raw materials
Ammonia (liquid)
Carbon dioxide (gas)
6. REACTIONS INVOLVED
2NH3 + CO2 NH2 COONH4
NH2COONH4 NH2CONH2 + H2O
SIDE REACTIONS
NH2COONH4 2NH3 + CO2
NH2COONH4+H2O NH3+CO2+H2O
NH2CONH2+H2O 2NH3+CO2
(hydrolysis)
2NH2CONH2 NH2CONH2CONH2+H2O

7. PARAMETERS AFFECTING PROCESS
1. Temperature :
Maximum equilibrium conversion around
190-200C.
Higher temperature leads to corrosion
2. Pressure:
equilibrium pressure becomes higher when
temperature increases
3.Residence Time:
minimum R.T. to attain equilibrium = 20 min.
