Urea is an organic compound that contains carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen. The white crystalline matter functions often as nitrogen-rich fertilizer in agriculture. Being very soluble in water, urea is used as a nitrogen fertilizer to help plants grow in the field of agriculture. It is also used in the manufacture of resins, adhesives, animal feed and industrial products. Ammonia and carbon dioxide are reacted at high pressure and temperature to produce urea. It is a low-cost and stable source of fertilizer, and a key input to the global food supply.
The urea plant typically consists of a factory with an ammonia synthesis unit, a carbon dioxide recovery unit, a urea synthesis reactor, a prilling or granulation tower, and utility systems such as steam, water, and electricity. A continuous supply of ammonia and carbon dioxide is essential to the operation of the plant. Land, plant machinery, utilities and skilled labor are meaningful costs, as are regulatory compliance costs relating to high pressure operation and emissions. Hence, a urea manufacturing plant can be set up where there is a growing requirement for agriculture and government support for fertilizer production, making the investment attractive to the investors and MSMEs.
