GRANULATION WITH A PIPE REACTOR
The pipe reactor, an acid-base reaction vessel, is integrated into the granulation drum. Sulfuric acid is fed into
one side of the reactor, while gaseous or liquid ammonia is fed into the reaction chamber. The result is an
ammonium sulfate hot “melt.” The superheated product is fed into the granulation drum, where the tumbling
action, combined with the captured reaction heat forms and solidifies the rounded pellets.
A rotary dryer is then used to dry the product, while a cooler cools it and stops any ongoing reaction. Under-size
product is screened out and combined with crushed over-size to be used as a bed of recycle.
