Extremely high pressure pumps for producing fertilizer
Urea
Chemical producers manufacture urea for use as a nitrogen-release fertilizer. It is produced from synthetic ammonia and carbon dioxide. As large quantities of carbon dioxide are produced during the ammonia manufacturing process as a byproduct from hydrocarbons (predominantly natural gas), or occasionally from coal, urea production plants are almost always located adjacent to the site where the ammonia is manufactured. The urea production process requires extremely high pressure to make pellets from the very viscous liquids.
