Abstract

A process for urea production in a synthesis loop based on CO2 stripping is distinguished by the fact that at least part of a flow recycle carbamate is sent to a treatment of carbamate decomposition and removal of free ammonia to obtain a vapour flow containing CO2 and NH3 with minimum content of water, and a weak water carbamate solution sent back to a urea recovery unit URS and being at least part of above vapour flow containing CO2 and NH3 with minimum content of water directly fed to the bottom zone of a reaction space.
