AMMONIA-V PLANT
Introduction:-
Ammonia V was commissioned in 1981 under trombay V
expansion scheme.
Ammonia V has capacity of 900 MTPD and process used was
based on steam reforming on associated gases.
In 1995 revamp purge recovery unit was installed to recover Ar
from associated gases.
In 2006 major revamp was done results in increase in capacity to
1045 MTDP and reduction in specific energy of plant.

UREA-V PLANT
Urea V was commissioned in 9 October 1981.
Capacity of plant 1000 MTPD
Initially plant was controlled by pneumatic control
system, but now upgraded to DCS control system
installed in plant by “HONEWELL” erected by miraj
instruments.
UREA is called as “nitrogenous” fertilizer.
For prilling tower is set up height of tower is 90m,
which is a beautiful phenomena.
