Ammonia Production from Natural Gas (Combined Reforming)
Cost of Production Report | Ammonia E21A
Details: 800 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2024 | 108 pages | See Versions From $1,199 USD |
This report presents a cost analysis of a 800 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. You can add a customized cost analysis, assuming another plant capacity and/or location (country), when ordering an advanced version of this report.
This report presents an up-to-date, detailed cost analysis of Ammonia production from natural gas. The process examined is similar to KBR Purifier process. In this process, syngas is initially produced from natural gas using a process that combines steam and autothermal reforming. Air is fed to the autothermal furnace to provide oxygen to the autothermal reform and nitrogen required in the ammonia synthesis loop. After several purification steps a stream containing nitrogen and hydrogen is fed to the ammonia synthesis loop to be converted into ammonia.
This report, Ammonia E21A, is a best-in-class examination of Ammonia production, providing an in-depth, comprehensive techno-economic analysis of the production technology examined, including:
- Process Description: raw materials and utilities consumption, products generation, labor requirements, list of equipment, characterization of site infrastructure, process flow diagram (PFD).
- Capital Cost Analysis: costs of plant construction, working capital, owners' costs, commissioning, start-up and contingency.
- Operating Cost Analysis: variable costs, fixed costs (salary, benefits & maintenance) and corporate overhead costs.
- And much more . . .
