ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>Ammonia</b>. Ammonia (NH3) is one of the most produced synthetic chemicals worldwide. The main application of this world class commodity is in nitrogen fertilizers, followed by the synthesis of nitric acid. It is also used, to a lesser extent, in several other applications such as pulping of wood and as ingredient in household cleaners and drugs. Ammonia is produced basically by the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen, in a 1:3 stoichiometric ratio. Its production routes are related to the source of the hydrogen used, being steam reforming the main one.</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Chemicals</b>. </p> <b>Natural Gas</b>. Natural gas is a naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon found in porous subsurface geologic formations. It is composed mainly of methane, but also contains varying amounts of higher hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, and butane. Additionally, natural gas may also include non-hydrocarbon components considered impurities such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. Natural gas is primarily used as a source of heat energy for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. It may also be used in the production of important chemicals such as ammonia, methanol, and hydrogen. </p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/070-B.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises three major sections: (1) Steam Reforming; (2) Raw Syngas Purification; and (3) Ammonia Synthesis.</p><p>Steam Reforming. After being compressed and desulfurized, the natural gas is mixed with steam for primary steam reforming reactions. In a tubular fired heater filled with a Ni-based catalyst, the methane is reacted with steam, generating a crude syngas mixture composed mainly of CO and hydrogen. The partially reformed natural gas is fed to the Autothermal Reformer (ATR), where the remaining methane is converted to CO and hydrogen. The effluent from the ATR is cooled, generating steam.</p><p>Raw Syngas Purification. The outlet from the ATR is fed to a two-stage high and low temperature reactors, where the bulk of the carbon monoxide is converted into carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The shifted gas is then cooled in two exchangers, generating steam, in such a way that water present in the gas condenses and it is removed in a knockout drum. The gas stream is sent to the CO2 Absorption, which utilizes a methyldiethanolamine wash for the removal of CO2. The gas stream free from CO2 is heated and fed to the Methanator, where residual carbon oxides are converted to methane in the presence of catalysts. After being cooled and dried in molecular sieves, the syngas is fed to the Syngas Purifier, composed of a feed/effluent exchanger, a low speed expander and a rectifying column. There, excess nitrogen, methane, most of the argon and other impurities are removed and used as fuel.</p><p>Ammonia Synthesis. The purified syngas is compressed, heated and fed to the Ammonia Reactor, an intercooled horizontal converter. The cooled down reactor outlet is then directed to a multistream heat exchanger that causes the condensation of the Ammonia. Residual gases are recycled to the Syngas Compressor.</p><p></p>
ICC - Short Description: This report presents the economics of Ammonia production from natural gas in the United States using a process similar to KBR Purifier process. In the process examined, syngas is initially produced from natural gas via a combined reforming. The syngas is purified through several steps into nitrogen and hydrogen which are synthesized to ammonia.
