Urea

What is Urea?

Urea is a solid fertiliser containing 46.6% of Nitrogen. It is produced by the reaction of Ammonia and Carbon dioxide under high pressure, both feedstocks being supplied by the ammonia plant. The urea produced in solution is turned into a solid fertiliser of spherical granules or prilles, in the final section of urea plant called granulation or tower unit.

Key Benefits include

Cost-Effectiveness

Due to its high nitrogen content and efficient application methods, urea is a cost-effective fertilizer option for farmers.

Efficient Nitrogen Release

Urea releases nitrogen slowly minimizing losses due to volatilization or leaching. This ensures that the nitrogen is available to plants when they need it most, maximizing its utilization.

Improved Soil Health

Urea can improve soil structure and fertility by enhancing microbial activity. It can help to neutralize soil acidity and improve nutrient availability for other essential plant nutrients.

Everyday usage of Urea

Beyond its agricultural significance, urea is also a popular ingredient used in many other formulations such as:

Skincare

Urea-based creams and ointments are used to moisturize dry skin and treat conditions like psoriasis and eczema.

Automotive

Urea is used in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide emissions from diesel engines.

Pharmaceuticals

Urea is used in the production of certain medications such as those for Type 2 Diabetes
