To melt it did you just dump it into some water and circulate?
We had melted red potash the year before so we had a setup that provided alot of agitation so we used that. It was overkill for sure. In a nutshell, we cut the top out of a couple chemical totes, and put agitation ports in the tote on all four sides. A 4" trash pump pumped the water into it. It would overflow into a second settling tote which the bottom port was hooked to a large 3" venturi and it would suck it out of there, and back into the main flow, and then to the batch tank. You jogged my memory by asking and we ended up incorporating a second 2" pump into the system - replacing the venturi - because there was coal in the urea and it would get caught in the venturi and block it off. Urea is easy to melt til the water gets cold and you are pushing the limits of N you can get. The warmer the water you can start with the better.
Take care |
