A Brief Overview of Ammonia and Urea Production and Their Simulations Strategies

Abstract

To engender a simulation of the integrated Ammonia - Urea process, a literature review was carried out about these industrial processes, focusing on extracting information from the literature, such as the types of processes and their description, thermo-physical-chemical properties, and thermodynamic and kinetic models related to the process. Furthermore, research was carried out on thermodynamic models for NH3-CO2-H2O systems, capable of describing an integrated Ammonia-Urea plant.
