Resumen:
A dynamic flowsheet for a complete urea granulation circuit is presented in this work.
This flowsheet is based on previous validated models against industrial data for the
crusher and screen and on a new model for the granulation unit. All three units are
integrated under the gPROMS Molder Builder Environment, which allows having a
powerful tool for the simulation and optimization steps. A sensitivity analysis is
performed to evaluate the influence the different operating variables on the product and
recycle streams. Finally, an optimization is carried out to determine the values of the
manipulated variables that maximize production under specification.
