Abstract

A process for preparation of a granular urea product by granulating a urea solution in a fluidized bed, where the granulation process takes place along a substantially longitudinal growth path, from a granulation starting end (1S) to a product discharge end (1E) of said fluidized bed, and said urea solution enters the fluidized bed by means of several urea inputs (2A, 2B, 2C) taken from a main urea feed (2), where an additive (6) is mixed with said urea solution said additive has a non-uniform concentration in said urea inputs, so that at least two of said urea inputs have a different concentration of additive.
