FIELD: technological processes.
SUBSTANCE: invention concerns granulation method in fluidised layer for various substances, such as carbamide, ammonium nitrate, ammonium chloride and similar substances viable to granulation. Particularly invention concerns method of granulation in fluidised layer with temperature adjusted by hot air feed, and to granulation plant for implementation of the method. During granulation of a certain substance in fluidised layer at adjustable temperature, finished hot granules are selected from fluidised granulation layer and cooled down in fluidised cooling layer continuously formed and sustained by fluidising air flow. At least a part of fluidising air leaving cooling fluidised layer of finished granules is fed to fluidised granulation layer. Cooling and granulation fluidised layers are positioned in sequence against air flow passing through them. Granulation plant used in the described method includes self-carrying construction with partition serving as support for fluidised granulation layer. Under the partition a step away from it, a base-forming sheet serving as support for fluidised cooling layer is located. Fluidised granulation and cooling layers interface over a perforated, grid, mesh or other gas-permeable partition. Finished granules are poured from fluidised granulation layer into fluidised cooling layer over transition stack. Devices of fluidised air feed and distribution in internal cavity of self-carrying construction are located under base-forming sheet.
EFFECT: reduced total energy expenditure required to maintain fluidised layer temperature at specified level sufficient for optimal granulation process finish.
