Abstract |
|
Separation of the hydrogen needed for the ammonia synthesis reaction, from its source is difficult. Hydrogen production method is the main source of distinction between the various ammonia production routes. Most of the improvements in the technology regarding the ammonia synthesis were concerned with the hydrogen production step. Hydrogen can be produced by stem reforming, partial oxidation, gasification. The bulk of the world ammonia production is based on the steam reforming. The major hydrogen sources are natural gas, naphtha and coal. In this project different methods available for hydrogen separation from its source are analysed and the best possible way to produce synthesis gas which will form ammonia from natural gas is found out. The mass balance calculation for the 250 tons per day of ammonia production is presented in this work. |
