Spanish term or phrase: úrea sin granular
El contexto dice:

"Para alcanzar la producción de fertilizante, la compañía debe usar 5,000 toneladas de úrea sin granular..."

No encuentro el equivalente... alguna sugerencia?

Gracias!

prilled urea???
Explanation:
Maybe they mean 'prilled urea' as opposed to 'granular urea'???

* Prilled is a term used in mining and manufacturing to refer to product that has been pelletized. The pellets are a neater, simpler form for handling, with reduced dust. Certain agrochemicals such as urea are often supplied in prilled form.

The urea solution arising from the synthesis/recycle stages of the process is subsequently concentrated to a urea melt for conversion to a solid prilled or granular product.

Improvements in process technology have concentrated on reducing production costs and minimising the environmental impact. These included boosting CO2 conversion efficiency, increasing heat recovery, reducing utilities consumption and recovering residual NH3 and urea from plant effluents. Simultaneously the size limitation of prills and concern about the prill tower off-gas effluent were responsible for increased interest in melt granulation processes and prill tower emission abatement. Some or all of these improvements have been used in updating existing plants and some plants have added computerised systems for process control. New urea installations vary in size from 800 to 2000t.d-1 and typically would be 1500t.d-1 units.



2.4 Prilling and Granulation

In urea fertilizer production operations, the final product is in either prilled or granular form. Production of either form from urea melt requires the use of a large volume of cooling air which is subsequently discharged to the atmosphere. A block diagram of the prilling and granulation processes is shown in Figure 3.

2.4.1 Prilling

The concentrated (99.7%) urea melt is fed to the prilling device (e.g. rotating bucket/shower type spray head) located at the top of the prilling tower. Liquid droplets are formed which solidify and cool on free fall through the tower against a forced or natural up-draft of ambient air. The product is removed from the tower base to a conveyor belt using a rotating rake, a fluidised bed or a conical hopper. Cooling to ambient temperature and screening may be used before the product is finally transferred to storage.

The design/operation of the prilling device exerts a major influence on product size. Collision of the molten droplets with the tower wall as well as inter-droplet contact causing agglomeration must be prevented. Normally mean prill diameters range from 1.6-2.0mm for prilling operations. Conditioning of the urea melt and "crystal seeding" of the melt, may be used to enhance the anti-caking and mechanical properties of the prilled product during storage/handling.

Yes, Sheila!! It's actually opposed to "granulated urea", and the contexts in fertilizers given by you as samples are just perfect!!! Thank you very much!!! Hope I have the chance to give you a hand some other time!
