METHOD AND THE INSTALLATION FOR PRODUCTION OF CARBAMIDE AND THE METHOD OF UPGRADING OF THE INSTALLATION FOR PRODUCTION OF CARBAMIDE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC C07C273/04 B01J12/02 

FIELD: chemical industry; methods and devices for production of carbamide.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is pertaining to the methods and devices for production of carbamide from ammonia and carbon dioxide. At realization of the method the reaction mixture from the synthesis reactor is fed in the stripper for the partial decomposition of the ammonium carbamate in the flow of the source carbon dioxide at the pressure practically equal to the pressure in the synthesis reactor. The stream of the source carbon dioxide is divided into two parts, one of which is routed into the stripper, and the other part is used as the working stream for injection of the gas stream from the stripper into the vertical condenser. The liquid stream from the stripper is fed at the stage of the subsequent decomposition of the ammonium carbamate, and the gaseous stream from the stripper is injected into the lower part of the vertical condenser for its mixing with source liquid ammonia. The liquid stream from the vertical condenser is fed into the synthesis reactor, butt from the gaseous stream absorb ammonia and carbon dioxide. The installation for production of carbamide consists of: the synthesis reactor; the scrubber for purification of the gaseous streams from the reactor from ammonia and carbon dioxide; the stripper for the partial decomposition of the ammonium carbamate; the vertical condenser, in which the mixing of the gas stream from the stripper with the source liquid ammonia takes place. The stripper is connected to the lines of feeding of the fluid stream from the reactor and the stream of the source carbon dioxide, and also is equipped with tool for injection of the gaseous stream from the stripper into the vertical condenser by the part of the stream of the source carbon dioxide. By the liquid stream the stripper is linked with the apparatuses for the subsequent decomposition of the ammonium carbamate and extraction of carbamide. The method of upgrading of the installation for production of carbamide consists in connection of the reactor of the synthesis to the stripper for the partial decomposition of the ammonium carbamate in the flow of the source carbon dioxide, in equipping the stripper with the tools for injection of the gaseous stream from the stripper into the vertical condenser with the part of the stream of the source carbon dioxide, and also in the availability of the lines of delivery of the gaseous mixture after the injector and the feeding line of the source liquid ammonia into the lower part of the vertical condenser. The technical result of the invention is the increased degree of conversion of the source reagents into carbamide at reduction of the scale of recirculation of the non-converted reactants.

EFFECT: the invention ensures the increased degree of conversion of the source reagents into carbamide at reduction of the scale of recirculation of the non-converted reactants.
