    10.-Ficha NPK (Steam Granulation)

    Uploaded by

    This document describes an NPK steam granulation process for producing NPK fertilizers. The process involves feeding solid raw materials like MAP, urea, and MOP along with liquid materials like sulfuric acid and ammonia into a granulator. Steam is also added to fluidize the materials and facilitate granulation. The granules are then dried and screened before being cooled and stored. The process has advantages like not requiring phosphoric acid, producing a wide range of formulations with low recycle ratios, and complying with pollution regulations.

    NPK STEAM GRANULATION PROCESS

    PROCESS FEATURES

    No need of phosphoric acid, which may not be available in


    some location

    The plants can manufacture a wide range of NPK


    formulations of high quality

    Low recycle ratio (1.5 to 2.5 depending on the formulation)

    Easy operation

    Small use of sulphuric acid and ammonia

    It complies with strict pollution regulations

    Many different solid raw materials can be used, such as


    urea, ammonium sulphate, ammonium nitrate, TSP, SSP,
    MAP, MOP, SOP, etc.

    NPK STEAM GRANULATION PROCESS
    PROCESS DESCRIPTION
    The dry solids are screened. The on-size solids are cooled and
    Solid Raw materials feeding
    coated before being sent to the storage, while the oversize
    granules are crushed, mixed with the undersize particles and
    The solid raw materials (MAP, Urea, MOP, TSP, etc.) are fed to the
    recycled to the granulator.
    appropriate raw materials hoppers and by means of variable
    speed Extractor Weight belts are fed into the granulator via
    Bag filters are used to clean the granulator and Drier gaseous
    conveyor where they mix with the recycled fines.
    effluents.
    Liquid raw materials feeding OPERATING REQUIREMENTS
    Sulphuric acid and ammonia are fed to the granulator by means of
    Raw Materials Consumptions
    spargers, together with some steam which supplies the
    necessary fluid phase for granulation.
    The efficiency of recovery of solid raw materials, measured as
    stack losses is as high as 99.5% while the recovery of ammonia
    The amount of sulphuric acid and ammonia is only the necessary
    and sulphuric acid reaches values of 99.0%.
    to adjust the granulation temperature but in addition to this effect,
    the ammonium sulphate produced by the neutralization of the
    Typical utilities consumptions (per metric ton of NPK)
    acid creates ammonium sulphate bridges which greatly harden
    the granules.
    Electricity 30 kWh
    Fuel oil 5 kg
    Solids handling

    From the granulator the solids fall into the Drier where its moisture
    is reduced below 1%.
