Abstract: A method and apparatus for dissolving urea. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of providing a mixing container, depositing a predetermined amount of urea into the mixing container, and depositing a predetermined amount of water into the mixing chamber to achieve a predetermined urea/water concentration. In a preferred embodiment, the predetermined urea/water concentration is about 50/50 wt/wt. The method further comprises the steps of mixing the urea and water to form a mixture, allowing the mixture to stand until the temperature of the mixture reaches a predetermined temperature, and thereafter, resuming mixing of the mixture until the urea completely dissolves in the water.
