Urea is increasingly being used in exhaust systems and tanks of diesel-powered automobiles for removing nitrogen oxide. This is further supported by numerous regulations set by the governments of multiple nations pertaining to vehicular emissions. Various key players are also engaging in extensive research and development (R&D) activities to integrate fluid bed granulation technology with the manufacturing process of urea. Since the deployment of the technology is expected to ensure excellent efficiency and improved quality of the end product that offers high resistance to crushing and abrasion, this is creating a positive outlook for the market.
