In accordance with increased production capacity of the recent ammonia plants, the
production capacity of urea plant also becomes large. To meet such demands, TEC
has established the design of 3,500 metric tons per day (mtpd) urea plants based on
the ACES Urea Process by confirming all considerable aspects of process, equipment
fabrication, construction and so forth.This paper reports how TEC evaluates the
investigation results and concluded thatthe Mega-capacity Urea Plantdesign and construction in comparison with currentlyoperated 1,750 mtpd ACES Process urea plants can be realized.
