Industrial Urea AdBlue Urea is a raw material used in the manufacture of many chemicals, such as various plastics, urea-formaldehyde resins and adhesives. It is also essential for making feedstock, glue, fertilizer, commercial products, and in resin production. Automotive Grade Urea (AGU) is a white, solid, cylindrical pellet. It is manufactured by compressing pure urea crystals in a pelletizing process which avoids the melting and heating of the urea where the majority of biuret is formed. It is an organic amide molecule containing 46% nitrogen in the form of amine groups. Urea is infinitely soluble in water and is a benign and safe chemical to handle. This product contains NO formaldehyde. Packing: 50kg bags, 1000kg / 1200kg jumbo bags. Handling and Storage: Store in a cool and dry place, away from moisture, heat.

Urea, a nitrogen-rich compound with the chemical formula CO(NH), plays a significant role in the oil and gas industry, Urea, also known as carbamide, is a highly soluble organic compound. It is synthesized on a large scale from ammonia and carbon dioxide and is primarily used in fertilizers, which accounts for about 90% of its global production. Chemical Properties Molecular Formula: CO(NH) Molar Mass: 60.06 g/mol Appearance: White, crystalline solid Melting Point: 133C (271F) Solubility: Highly soluble in water, forming a neutral solution Industrial Production The production of urea typically involves the following steps: Ammonia Production: Sourced primarily from natural gas (methane) through the Haber-Bosch process. Reaction with Carbon Dioxide: Ammonia reacts with carbon dioxide to produce ammonium carbamate, which is then dehydrated to form urea and water:2 3 2+ 2NH 3 +CO 2 NH 2 CONH 2 +H 2 O Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF): Urea is used to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from diesel engines. DEF, a mixture of 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water, is injected into the exhaust stream of diesel engines. Oil Drilling Fluids: Urea can be used in drilling mud formulations to enhance the efficiency of the drilling process. Chemical Manufacturing: Urea serves as a feedstock in the production of various chemicals such as melamine and urea-formaldehyde resins. Desulfurization: It is used in processes to remove sulfur compounds from petroleum products. Market Dynamics Demand: The demand for urea is largely driven by its use in agriculture. However, industrial uses, including those related to the oil and gas sector, contribute significantly to its market. Pricing: Urea prices are influenced by the cost of natural gas, the primary raw material, and global agricultural demand cycles and NEGOTIABLE Environmental Impact: While urea itself is not hazardous, its overuse in agriculture can lead to environmental issues such as eutrophication. Handling and Storage: Urea should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture, as it is highly hygroscopic. It is considered non-toxic, but proper safety measures should be followed to avoid dust inhalation or skin contact. Logistics: Efficient transportation and storage solutions are vital to maintain urea quality and manage costs. Regulations: Compliance with international and local regulations regarding chemical handling, safety, and environmental impact is crucial. Market Opportunities: Identifying and targeting markets with growing industrial and agricultural demand for urea can enhance profitability. Origin: Russia/ Kazakhstan.

Ammonia gas (NH3) is a colorless gas with a strong, pungent odor. It consists of one nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms. Ammonia is highly soluble in water, and it forms a strongly basic solution known as ammonium hydroxide when dissolved in water. Here are some key points about ammonia gas: Production: Ammonia is produced on a large scale for various industrial applications. The most common method of production is the Haber-Bosch process, which involves reacting nitrogen gas (N2) from the air with hydrogen gas (H2) under high pressure and temperature in the presence of a catalyst. Uses: Ammonia gas has numerous applications across different industries. Some common uses of ammonia include: Fertilizer: Ammonia is a vital component in the production of nitrogen-based fertilizers, such as ammonium nitrate and urea. It provides an essential source of nitrogen for plant growth. Refrigeration: Ammonia has excellent thermodynamic properties, making it a popular choice as a refrigerant in industrial refrigeration systems. It is also used in absorption refrigeration systems. Cleaning: Ammonia is an effective cleaning agent, particularly for removing grease and stains. It is often found in household cleaning products like glass cleaners and floor cleaners. Industrial Processes: Ammonia is used as a raw material or intermediate in the production of various chemicals, including plastics, fibers, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. Water Treatment: Ammonia is employed in water treatment processes to control pH levels and remove contaminants like heavy metals. Safety Precautions: While ammonia has diverse applications, it is important to handle it with caution due to its toxic and corrosive nature. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of ammonia gas can irritate the respiratory system and cause severe eye, nose, and throat irritation. It is crucial to use proper ventilation and personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with or near ammonia. Storage and Transportation: Ammonia is typically stored and transported in pressurized containers or as a liquefied gas under refrigeration. Safety regulations and guidelines govern the storage, handling, and transportation of ammonia to minimize the risk of accidents. Please note that if you have any specific questions or need more detailed information about a particular aspect of ammonia gas, feel free to ask!

What Is Ergothioneine? Ergothioneine (ERGO) is a unique naturally occurring amino acid produced by mushrooms, yeast, and some types of bacteria. It is unique because it behaves much like a vitamin in humans. Vitamins are essential for humans to ingest because we cannot make them in the body, and they are required in critical chemical reactions. While not considered a vitamin (yet), the importance of ERGO to human cellular metabolism is evident because our bodies have a cell membrane protein that is specific to transporting ERGO into cells. The presence of this transport protein signifies that ERGO is a critical component of cellular function. What Does Ergothioneine Do? Once incorporated into cells, ERGO exerts several biological actions that protect and enhance cellular function, including acting as an antioxidant, inflammation regulator, and detoxification aid. Emerging evidence shows that diets rich in ERGO exert these protective effects and promote longevity. For these reasons, ERGO has been referred to as the "longevity vitamin." What Makes Ergothioneine Important? ERGO is a thiol, meaning it is a sulfur-containing compound. Some of its antioxidant and potential antiaging effects are similar to other thiol-containing compounds, such as glutathione and coenzyme Q10. ERGO is different because it is a much smaller molecule distributed throughout the body and all the compartments of the cells, including the internal cellular environment (cytoplasm) and within mitochondria (the energy-producing compartment of cells). A clinical study in humans has shown that taking ERGO as a dietary supplement raises blood levels of ERGO, improves thiol status, and may increase antioxidant status to produce various health benefits.
