Ammonia Production from Syngas
This report presents the economics of Ammonia production from synthesis gas (syngas). In this process, hydrogen, recovered from syngas feedstock, and nitrogen, recovered from air, react producing Ammonia. The economic analysis performed assumes a plant located in the United States.

Ammonia Production from Natural Gas (Combined Reforming)
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.

Ammonia Production from Natural Gas (Chemical Looping Process)
This study approaches the economics of Ammonia manufacturing from natural gas in the United States. This report assumes a novel plant configuration reported in the literature, in which three chemical looping reactors, respectively fed by natural gas, steam and air are used. The outlet from the looping reactors is passed through compression and water separation steps to generate pure streams of nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Nitrogen and hydrogen react to generate Ammonia.

Ammonia Production from Coal
This report examines the costs related to Ammonia production from coal in China. In this process, coal undergoes pyrolysis, producing coke. It is then subjected to a gasification process. Coke reacts with steam and oxygen yielding mainly carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen and carbon dioxide (CO2). CO and water are shifted to CO2 and hydrogen. Finally, nitrogen and hydrogen react to produce ammonia.

Ammonia Production from Fuel Oil
This report examines the costs related to Ammonia production from heavy fuel oil. The process under analysis integrates a heavy fuel oil partial oxidation process for synthesis gas production with a unit that produces ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen. The economic analysis provided assumes a plant located in the United States.
