Processing conditions for ammonia and urea are highly corrosive; using metallurgical advancements can mitigate such forces
In the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI), the
manufacture of ammonia and urea holds a prominent role. These
petrochemicals have sustained the growth of agricultural
production with new technologies and processes. This industry
uses many different feedstocks such as coal, liquid
petroleum, natural gas, and refinery residues. These feeds
are processed under extreme pressure and temperatures in a
highly corrosive environment.
Despite these processing challenges, large-scale
fertilizer plants are built worldwide to meet the growing
fertilizer demand. A major factor contributing to this
achievement is the industry's succe
