  • Publication number: 20180044254
    Abstract: This invention relates to a urea granule with a nitrogen stabilizer and carrier system substantially homogenously dispersed throughout the granule thickness. Several methods are disclosed to make the urea granule, including prilling, fluidized bed, and drum granulation. The carrier system can comprise any solvent system that is both: (1) stable at urea melt temperatures of ˜120° C.; (2) able to solvate the nitrogen stabilizer system; and (3) miscible in molten urea. Such carrier systems can be blends of NMP and a glycol (e.g. propylene glycol). The nitrogen stabilizer can include a urease inhibitor, such as NBPT, where the NBPT purity can be between 90 and 99%. The nitrogen stabilizer can also include a nitrification inhibitor, such as DCD.
