INSTALLATION AND PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF UREA

摘要

The invention relates to an installation for the preparation of urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide, the installation comprising two reactor sections in a vertically placed combined reactor and a high-pressure condenser sectio n. The installation may comprise a vertically placed combined reactor, with the two reactor sections being separated by a high-pressure condenser section. I n another embodiment the installation comprises a vertically placed combined reactor that comprises two reactor sections and a high-pressure condenser section placed outside the reactor. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of urea in this installation. This involves feeding the gas stream leaving the stripper wholly or partly to the high-pressure condenser section of the installation. Preferably, a portion of the gas stre am leaving the scrubber is fed to the second reactor section in the vertically placed combined reactor via an ammonia-driven ejector.
