Disclosed is a method for the removal of ammonia from the off-gas of a finishing section of a urea production plant. Also disclosed is a corresponding urea plant, and a method of accordingly modifying a pre-existing urea plant. In a scrubbing section, the off-gas is brought into contact with an acidic scrubbing liquid so as to provide a scrubbed off-gas and a utilized scrubbing liquid comprising ammonium salt. The method specifies an evaporation section, which is part of the urea plant that produces urea melt, that is divided into first and second stages. The first stage is part of the urea melt production plant. The second stage decoupled, as regards recirculation of liquids other than the urea product stream, from the urea melt production plant. This is accomplished by sending utilized scrubbing liquid that contains ammonium salts to the second stage evaporation section, and by sending condensed vapours from said second stage evaporation section to said scrubbing section.
A method for the removal of ammonia from an off-gas of a finishing section of a urea production plant, wherein the finishing section operates a conversion of a urea melt into solid urea products, thereby generating an ammonia-containing off-gas, the method comprising:
A method for the production of a solid urea product, comprising producing an aqueous urea solution, evaporating water from said aqueous urea solution in a first stage evaporation section so as to form a first water vapour and a concentrated urea solution, providing all of the concentrated urea solution to a second stage evaporation section and further evaporating water from the concentrated urea solution in the second stage evaporation section to form a second water vapour and a urea melt, and conversion of the urea melt into the solid urea product thereby generating an ammonia-containing off-gas;
