The Urea 2000plus™ Pool Reactor process works as follows: Unlike the Pool Condenser concept, the Pool Reactor concept combines the condenser and reactor within a single pool reactor. This is achieved by enlarging the horizontal condenser so as to incorporate additional reactor volume. As a result, it becomes possible to achieve sufficiently high residence times, eliminating the need for a separate vertical reactor, while creating the conditions that will allow the reaction to reach its optimum condition.
The high-pressure scrubbing operation can also be simplified in the Pool Reactor concept by placing the scrubber sphere above the pool reactor and adding the ammonia to the synthesis via this scrubber. This ensures that no separate heat-exchanging section in this scrubbing operation is needed.
In the Pool Reactor concept, carbamate from the low-pressure recirculation section flows together with the absorbed gases and the ammonia via a sparger into the pool reactor. As the static liquid height ensures gravity flow, no high-pressure ejector is needed.
