greatest opportunity from a revenue standpoint
(~ $400.00 billion by 2020) according to Frost & Sullivan (F&S)
(Basic Chemicals include petrochemicals, fertilizers and
polymers.)
– The US has one of the largest basic chemicals industries in
the world, second only to China.
– The improved cost position of US petrochemicals has
prompted a flurry of interest in new cracker capacity.
– A total of 148 projects were reported in the United States
Petrochemicals Report Q2 2015. They include new factories,
expansions and process changes to increase capacity and are

Urea Segment
−
Urea is expected to become a $96 billion global market by 2019.
−
There are several places within the process where pressure transmitters can
help alleviate problems like crystallization, erosion and corrosion.
−
Emerson is already focusing upon the segment which may provide
opportunities for marketing in partnership as well as leverage brand equity.
The 3051S would bring reliability to a process despite the volatile environment
A study published by the State of New York
Department of Health reported 107 serious
ammonia spills that occurred in New York State
between 1993 through 1998. Most of the releases
occurred in food/beverage processing (29%) or at
chemical/metal/equipment manufacturing facilities
(27%). Equipment failure caused 58% of the
releases.

Basic Facts
− For use in industry, urea is produced from synthetic
ammonia and carbon dioxide by chemical plants.
− There are many uses for Urea including agricultural,
pharmaceutical and production of chemical compounds
such as plastics, adhesives, and potassium cyanate.
It is the world's most commonly used nitrogen fertilizer.
− Urea plants are complicated, delicate operations, with many interacting
variables and interdependent loops.
− Product costs are high and when equipment failures are too
frequent, or operator performance is inconsistent, the effect on
capacity and profits can be quick and dramatic.
#1 Petrochemicals
− The urea process is easily influenced by ambient conditions,
and it

reactions, and corrosive conditions.

Demand Forecast
– Demand for urea is growing worldwide at an average
annual growth rate of 3.5% according to the International
Fertilizer Association (IFA)
– Urea will reach 200.5 millions tons in 2018 according to
the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United
Nations
⚫
Industry Players
– SKW Pieteritz in Germany has
developed a pressure transmitter
specifically for the high
pressure synthesis section
in urea plants
– Vega has several pressure
transmitters for the Chemical
industry. The VEGABAR product
line includes a product for
column pressure measurement

– The IFA estimates around 220 fertilizer projects worldwide
are planned between- at a total capital cost of +$150 billion
– Close to 60 new urea plants are planned to come
on stream by 2018 in East Asia,
Africa and North America.
− US Companies including
CF Industries (US largest)
and Black & Veatch have
announced plans to expand
their urea production capacity.
− Falling price for natural gas

Urea Process
⚫
The urea plant consists of six main areas
1. Ammonia Pumping - liquid ammonia is pumped from the multi-stage pump which
maintain the reaction pressure in the vertical stainless steel vessel
2. Carbon Dioxide Compression - plant directly boost the carbon dioxide from the
compression section
3. Urea Synthesis Tower - catalyst bed is placed in the inner side of the autoclave structure
and 180- 200 atm pressure and a temperature about 180-200 deg centigrade is
maintained
4. Distillation Tower and Flash Drum - high pressure slurry is flashed to 1 atm pressure
and distilled to remove excess ammonia and decomposed ammonia carbamated salts are
removed and recycled - Level Opportunity
5. Vacuum Evaporator - solution is
fed to vacuum evaporator for
concentrating the slurry
6. Prilling Tower - dryer where the
molten slurry is passed from top
of the tower into a bucket which
rotates and sprinkles the slurry
and air is passed from the bottom
to remove moisture as the urea
forms into granules during it journey
to the bottom of the tower

Synthesis Tower
The temperature and pressure of the synthesis reaction are closely linked
since the ammonium carbamate first forming must be maintained at least at its
saturation pressure in order to prevent its immediate decomposition.
SKW Pieteritz in Germany has developed a reliable pressure transmitter for the
high pressure synthesis section working with LESER. It is designed to measure the
pressure in high pressure gaseous or liquid carbamate lines and address several
challenges that are encountered: crystallization, erosion and corrosion risks. The pressure
transmitter is part of LESER’s Innovative Overpressure Protection System. They claim it
increases safety and reliability.
Pressure transmitters are also used to:
1. Measure the level in the urea reactor (2 transmitters)
2. Measure the pressure of the urea synthesis

Challenge: Lost Production
Panes: “Environmental conditions cause us too much process variability.”
“We often need more process insight.”
“Our process control strategy cannot adequately handle abnormal conditions.”
⚫
Related Data
─ According to a study of 27 urea plants by Indian Journal of Fertilizer from-, the
average production lost over that period was equivalent to 34,238 metric tons per plant, or a
total of 2.6 million metric tons.
─ Plant related problems was the leading cause for shutdowns, forced downtime and loss of
production. Of those, 62.7% were due to internal factors with mechanical failures seeing the
highest year-to-year increase (8.8 DDPY).
─ Increase was also noticed in the downtime in instrumentation due to problems such as
malfunctioning of transmitters, false alarms, etc.
