  Apart from its application in the agriculture industry, granular urea also finds other industrial applications such as water treatment, metal treatment, health & beauty products, wood industry, glue & resins, and construction & civil engineering. Granular urea is harder than prilled urea and thus creates less dust and fines when handled and transported. Today, considerable urea is manufactured as granules, as they are larger, harder and more resistant to moisture. Therefore, granular urea has become a more suitable material for fertilizer blends. Granule size and bulk density allow urea to be included in the composition of fertilizer blends and provide uniform distribution over the soil surface. Granular urea is formed by spraying molten urea into a mixture of dried urea particles and fines in a rotating drum. Urea is the most widely used nitrogen fertilizer in the world. Granular urea can be effectively used on acidic soils, for nitrogen fertilizing cereals, for ferti
