The document compares three different urea production processes: Saipem, Stamicarbon, and TEC. The Saipem process is described as easy to operate with no mixing of vapors and automatic maintenance of pressure differential. The Stamicarbon process involves more complex recycling and intermixing of vapors requiring an operator's close attention. Minor disturbances in downstream sections can limit production for the Stamicarbon process. Both the Stamicarbon and TEC processes use CO2 as a stripping media which can cause higher corrosion than the Saipem process that uses ammonia.

Easy to operate because there is Because of intermixing of Same as Stamicarbon.
no mixing of HP stripper vapour vapour HP stripper with with Reactor vapour. In this reactor, Operator has to process equipments operates in concentrate to maintain such a way it automatically stripper and reactor pressure maintain differential pressure for for proper flow. flow of gas. In this process there is as important part is Reactor For synthesis section same as level, disturbance in level will Stamicarbon. cause the bypassing of unconverted solution which limit the d/s section.
Since process flow is very simple There is complex recycling,
so trouble shooting can be So it may possible that handling very easy. difference may cause plant shutdown.
In this process Urea solution
form LP separator collects in Urea solution tank, which further deliver to vacuum section with the help of urea melt pump. This is my assumption that this will increase Biuret. And this may be one reason which limits the plant production in case of minor disturbance in d/s section.
In my view this process use
Ammonia as stripping media and Not have much experience complete cycle of process solution but since this process have have rich ammonia, Due to basic CO2 as stripping media and nature of ammonia there is less Unreached CO2 having high corrosion in Snamprogettie corrosion nature. But both process. That why it is possible to process use proper MOC so I hold reactor in filled condition for am not very much sure about 24 to 36 hrs. the corrosion rate.
