7 The supporting facilities include Raw Water Storage, Water pre -treatment, DM
Water plant, Steam & Power Generation plant, Instrument Air, Plant Air & Inert Gas
plant, Urea Storage, Ammonia and NGL/ Naphtha storage and Product Handling.
8 The plant while on full production consumes everyday 4.3MMSM3 Natural Gas and
9 8.0 million gallons of Water to produce 6650 MT of Urea. Apart from the above
main raw materials varying quantities of chemicals like HCL, NaOH, DEA, H2SO4
Alum, etc will be used in process. Natural Gas and NGL/ARN are received through
pipeline from ONGC located at about 5 km. away from the KRIBHCO site.
10 Total area of the factory is 735 hectares and average no. of employees including
contract workers are 1212 approximately, whereas maximum No. of persons at a
time present inside the factory are 1200 approximately.
11 AMMONIA PLANT
12
13 There are two streams of Ammonia plants each of 1890 MTPD capacity based on
the renowned KBR Purifier technology. The gas obtained from ONGC/GAIL is
preheated and de-sulphurised to remove sulphur. After de-sulphurisation natural
gas mixed with steam and preheated by reformar flue gas and passed through the
catalyst tubes containing Ni catalyst in the primary reformer. To provide the heat
required for endothermic reaction, the tubes are heated externally to maintain the
gas outlet temperature 706 0C. The Hydrocarbons after reforming produces CO,
CO2 , H2 and unconverted CH4 and H2O. This partially reformed gas mixture is
passed on to the secondary reformer wherein excess preheated air is added in
proportion to supply the N2 for purifier process as well as heat required to
complete the reforming. The outlet of secondary reformer process gas at 9000C
contains H2, N2, CO, CO2, unconverted CH4, Argon and H2O.The heat from the
process gas is recovered in
14
15 waste heat boiler and send to high temperature and low temperature shift converter
at 3400C and 1950C respectively to convert CO into CO2 in the process gas. The
exothermic heat generated in shift converter is recovered in waste heat boiler,
gas/gas exchanger and boiler feed water exchanger.
16 To remove the CO2 from the process gas, The process gas is treated in CO2
removal section where CO2 is being absorbed in aMDEA solvent in absorber and
then regenerated in stripper, The heat required for regeneration is supplied from the
process gas in re-boiler, The CO2 produced is send to UREA plant as a raw
material for UREA. The process gas after removal of CO2, mainly contains H2, N2,
CH4, Ar and residual amount of CO and CO2. The CO and CO2 is then converted
to CH4 in the Methanator. The Process gas after methanation mainly contains H2 ,
N2, CH4, Ar and water and traces amount of CO, CO2. The gas mixture containing
H2 and N2 in the ratio 2:1 is then send to drier after cooling in chiller to 40C. The
Drier outlet gas becomes free from moisture, CO2 and NH3 ( Total <1 PPM) is then
send to purifier. In the purifier the excess N2 along with CH4 and Ar is separated
from the process gas and the purifier outlet process gas contains 3:1 H2 /N2 ratio
required for conversion to NH3. The separated liquid mixture of CH4, N2, Ar and
along with saturated H2 in the purifier is send to furnace to use as a fuel. The outlet
process gas from the purifier called as a synthesis gas is then compressed to 180 -
185 Kg/Cm2G in syn gas compressor in four stage and send to ammonia
converter. Part of the gas is converted to ammonia in the converter. The ammonia
produced is separated from the unconverted syn gas by chilling in ammonia chiller.
The unconverted syngas again sends to converter after mixing with fresh make up
gas to convert in to ammonia. The ammonia produced is used as a chilling media
in the refrigeration system and then send to Urea plant as a raw material for UREA
plant. The excess ammonia is send to storage tank at -330C temperature for storing
at atmospheric pressure.
17 The waste heat generated at the various stage of exothermic reaction utilized to
produce steam at 105 Kg/Cm2G pressure. The steam generated from process gas
heat recovery along with Aux Boiler connected with Reformer furnace provides
power for all the drives, driven by high pressure steam and medium pressure steam
at 40 Kg/Cm2G in the Ammonia Plant as well as satisfies the process steam
requirement. The excess steam produced is send to Urea plant and power plant.
18
19 UREA PLANT
20 There are two Phases of Urea Plant ( four streams) each of 3325 MTPD capacity.
The plant is based on the proven “SNAM” Ammonia Stripping process. The
ammonia and CO2 obtained from the Ammonia plant is pressurized and allowed to
react in a Reactor at a pressure of 145 atm and temperature of 1800 C maintaining
a NH3/CO2 mol. Ratio 3:1. The reaction in the Reactor will form a mixture of
Ammonium Carbamate, Urea and water. This mixture flows to a stripper wherein
the excess NH3 helps to strip off the unconverted Carbamate. The urea solution is
furt her concentrated in the vacuum evaporators and urea prills are produced in
Prilling Tower. The unconverted NH 3 and CO 2 are recombined to form Carbamate
and recycled back in the Reactor to achieve further conversion.
21 The Ammonia stripping process enables to strip off and reconvenes most of the
carbamate at the Autoclave pressure itself, facilitating the recycling of Carbamate
from LP Section to the Reactor just by an ejector. The stripping condensing and
recycling of Carbamate solution at high pressure saves lot of energy and enable to
generate LP steam making the Plant energy efficient.

23 STEAM & POWER GENERATION
24 The steam generation plant supplied by FOSTER WHEELER POWER PLANT -UK
consists of 3 boilers, 2 running one standby, capable of producing 275 MT S team
per boiler per hour at 105 kg/cm2 pressure and 5100C to supply steam to the
process plants. Two TG Sets of 15 MW capacity each are also installed in this plant.
The boilers are of single drum Monowall Balanced draft type complete with all
accessories and mountings. The boilers can be fired to 100% MCR either with
NGL/ARN or with Gas or of any combination.
25 KRIBHCO installed gas turbine as a new CPP in Year 2014 which is having
capacity of 72 MW power generations & 190 MT/hr steam. Presently this plant is in
operation along with one boiler of old CPP.
26
27 PRODUCT HANDLING PLANT

30 OFFSITES FACILITIES
31
32 The water requirement of about 7.0 MGD being drawn from the Ukai -Kakarapara
irrigation canal or alternate supply from Kakarapar by dedicated pipeline and
stored at our plant site in a reservoir spread over 50 acres. The raw water thus
stored will be treated in a water pre-treatment plant to bring down the turbidity
level. The Water pre-treatment plant consists of two clarifloculators each of 2000
M3/hr. wherein chemicals like Alum, and Chlorine are added to treat the water. The
treated water is then filtered and used for drinking, servicing as well as cooling.
Part of the treated water is further subjected to process of Ion exchange in the DM.
plant before being used in Boilers.
