Produce synthetic ammonia or urea?
Thread Content
There is a project currently in progress that uses coke oven gas as the feed gas. Instead of producing methanol, it was decided to pursue the route of producing fertilizers. However, new issues have arisen now: should ammonia be synthesized instead? It’s still about producing urea; I think it’s better to produce urea directly. After all, **agriculture is being encouraged these days, but there’s nothing to convince the leaders. Please help us out. Any information available?
This is a decision-making issue; urea is one of the by-products of ammonia synthesis, so careful consideration is needed. It’s advisable to research the current status of urea production facilities, their capacities, and their distribution in the country, as well as to conduct market research. Report to the leader again. You can also suggest other products at the same time. Products such as formic acid, methylamine, DMF, and others
It is recommended to purchase a market research report on urea and synthetic ammonia so as to choose from them and see which product offers the best returns.
The urea market is far better than the synthetic ammonia market, as synthetic ammonia is used in smaller quantities on an industrial scale
Urea is a product derived from ammonia; to produce urea, synthetic ammonia must be manufactured first； Synthetic ammonia produced is not necessarily converted into urea; it can be used to manufacture other products such as nitric acid, *ao acid an, and methylamine.
Urea is the product of ammonia synthesis and carbon dioxide, so both are necessary
Currently, producing methanol from coke oven gas is more profitable than producing synthetic ammonia and urea, but from the perspective of supply and demand, there is an overall surplus in the production capacity for methanol, as well as synthetic ammonia and urea.
Personally, I think it’s necessary to use it all. Urea is produced from synthetic ammonia; what else can you do with ammonia if not use it to produce urea? However, there is currently an overall surplus in capacity; it is advised not to enter the market if you don’t have unique advantages.
