I have to design a urea plant with output capacity of 100,000 MTA. Can anyone please help with which process should i base my design on. Should i go for Stamicarbon, Snamprogetti or anyother better one available (or possible).
which process would be better (or easier) to design my plant on..

I was wondering of Monsanto process ...but I'm not sure .
Stamicarbon is the easiest one I guess, but you have to check what are the technical differences and econimic potentials.

Can you share this project with me please , coz it sounds interesting.

Thanks

You are designing a small plant, altough many urea plant is not so small, well i don't want to say like that.
first of all in any project make sure what should be the capacity of that project, it's totally depends upon the consumption of the product and pay out period, In my opinion you are designing a plant of under capacity, fertilizer plant is big industry, and for the optimum solution it's capacity should be more than 100,000 MTA.
may be i am wrong, the capacity varies for country to country.

the process you mentioned here is proprietary/patent process
in my view,
Ivo Marvoic/ UTIC Heat Recycle Process(Monsanto & Envirochem) is the best one
the above process is overall energy efficient,
In this process Heat recovery is great either by hot recycle gas or by condensate.
Utilizes all the energy
for one ton urea manufacturing only 1 to 1.4 ton steam is required which is less than mitsui toatsu recycle process 2.0 ton/urea.
