What is the difference between Granular Urea and Prilled Urea?
- To produce granular urea, the molten urea is placed on a plate and cooled. Afterwards, it is produced by crushing the compound into small particles with a diameter ranging from 1mm to 4mm. This form of urea is popular in agriculture due to its ability to resist moisture and its suitability for various applications.
- To produce prilled urea, drops of molten urea are sprayed from a "prill tower". Prilled urea is slightly smaller than granular urea, making it easier to handle, transport, and use. It is used to produce resins, plastics and adhesives. The diameter of prilled urea can range from 0.85mm to 2.8mm. Next is the screening stage. In this step, the particles are screened with the appropriate size. Some of the urea is prepared for packaging and some will be loaded as bulk.
