Ammonia Production from Heavy Oil
Cost of Production Report | Ammonia E41A
Details: 800 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2024 | 107 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 heavy oil via the integration of two production processes: hydrogen production from heavy oils via partial oxidation and ammonia synthesis. In this process, heavy oil, a byproduct of petroleum refining processes, is used as feedstock in a gasification process to produce synthesis gas (a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen). The synthesis gas is then subjected to a water-gas shift reaction, in which its carbon monoxide content is converted into hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The outlet from the shift reactors undergoes further purification steps for the recovery of hydrogen. Then, hydrogen is mixed with nitrogen, produced by an air separation unit, and the mixture is fed to the ammonia synthesis plant, in which they both react producing Ammonia.
This report, Ammonia E41A, 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 . . .
