The open global tender enquiry is called for Supply, delivery, installation, commissioning and successful trial of vibroprillers system in place of existing Prilling devices (TEC Acoustic Granulators). The Vibroprillers or any other new generation prilling devices based on electromagnetic vibration technique shall be installed in existing PrillingTower for reducing dust generation and improving Urea prill quality as defined in Scope of Work and Performance guarantees. The job comprises of comprehensive study of existing urea plant and Prilling section, design of vibroprilling system or equivalent prilling device, complete supply of material, erection, installation, commissioning and supervision during trial period and realization of guarantees in 20 operational days ‘Performance Trial Run’ (PTR) & Guarantee test run (GTR).

1.1 Description of Urea Plant

Urea Plant at NFL Panipat Unit is a 1550 MTPD urea production facility designed by Toyo Engineering Corporation (TEC) with MITSUI-TOATSU Total Solution Recycle Improved-C process. Urea Plant comprises of Synthesis Section, Decomposition Section, Recovery Section, Crystallization and Prilling section. Urea synthesis is achieved in titanium lined vertical high pressure reactor. The product from Urea Reactor is processed in decomposition section to separate Urea from reaction products. The Urea solution leaving the carbamate decomposers is vacuum crystallized and urea crystal are separated in five number centrifuge machines. The crystals formed are dried to less than 0.3 % moisture and conveyed to top of prilling tower and melted in a steam melter. The molten urea then flows through twelve number Acoustic granulators (prilling devices) and droplets are solidified by cooling air in the prilling tower. The prilled urea falling on bottom fluidized cooler is over flown to belt conveyor carrying product urea prills to Urea Silo for storage and bagging.

1.2 Definitions/Technical terms

1. Vibroprillers or equivalent prilling device: The prilling devices to be used in place of existing Prilling Devices (TEC Acoustic granulators). Vibrations are generated into the prilling device to control the prill size distribution, fines generation and dust emission. For vibration generation and control electro-magnetic device shall be used.

2. Vibroprilling system or equivalent prilling device: It comprises of vibroprillers or equivalent prilling device with automatic control system and additional equipments/piping, electrical and instrumentation items etc to provide guaranteed performance.

Sampling Procedure of Emission FromPrilling Tower

Emission from I. D. Fan/Cyclone is drawn with the help of vacuum pump through previously dried glass fibre/ cellulose thimble at a calculated rate of LPM for twenty minutes. The rate of flow is calculated considering emission velocity,ambient&stack temperature,stack pressure and the diameter of sampling tube . The thimble is then dried at 740C over night and weighed. The increase in weight is used for calculation of SPM (Urea) in mg/NM3 .

SPM(Urea) = Wt. increase of thimble X 1000 Time (min.) X Rate of Sampling X Day factor

Annexure-VIII TEST Method Of Urea Product

( as per FCO -1985)

Sieve Analysis Principle:

Known quantity of urea prill is sieved through 2.8mm and 1.0mm aperture sieves and weighed.

Apparatus: Standard I.S Sieve 2.8mm and 1.0mm aperture as per FCO. Balance up to 0.1gm. Procedure :

1. Take 100gms of composite urea sample on 2.8mm and 1.0mmSieve. Shake till the

material retained on 2.8mm sieve has constant weight. 2. Take similarly 100gms of composite urea sample on 1.0mmm sieve . shake til the

material retained has constant weight. Results ; Material passing through 2.8mm I.S. Sieve i.e . -2.8mm= %wt. Material retained on 1.0mm I.S.Sieve i.e. +1.0mm = %wt. Under size i.e. -1.0mm = %wt _____________________________________________________________________________

PRILL STRENGTH Annexure-IX

PRINCIPLE : Known amount of Urea is sieved through different I.S. sieve. Fractions retained on them are weighed. Crushing strength is determined separately for each fraction and weighed average crushing strength is calculated. Apparatus : Crushing strength machine , Analytic balance I.S. Sieve aperture 2.8mm,2.4mm.1.9mm,1.4mm,1.18mm and 1.0mm. Procedure : Place sieve one above the other in the rising order of aperture . Take 100 gms of composite Urea sample on 2.8mm sieve. Shake the set of sieves till different fractions have the constant weight. Different fractions retained on each sieve is weighed separately. Find out the Crushing strength of prills from all fraction except +2.8mm and-1.0mm fractions. Calculate the average of each fractions. Standard Sieve
