A method for revamping an ammonia-urea plant wherein: the ammonia section is modernized to produce an extra amount of low pressure steam; condensation stage of the high-pressure urea synthesis loop is modified to use part of the condensation heat of the urea stripper vapours to produce medium-pressure steam, said medium-pressure steam is fed to one or more steam users of the urea section, particularly for carbamate decomposition, the input of low-pressure steam to the urea section is balanced by importing the extra low-pressure steam produced in the ammonia section.
