This document discusses materials used in urea fertilizer plants, focusing on materials used for reactor liners. It describes the history of different materials used such as titanium, zirconium, stainless steel, and duplex stainless steel. Zirconium has proven highly resistant to corrosion in urea plants without needing additional oxygen. Newer materials like 2RE-69 and duplex stainless steels provide good resistance with weldability. The design of urea reactors is also covered, noting key parameters like diameter, height, and residence time depending on production size. Passivation air levels vary between process licensors but help control corrosion.
