Sinochem Fuling Ammonia Synthesis Plant begins warming and reducing the low-temperature shift catalyst Author/Source: Sinochem Fuling Date: May 20, 2022 Clicks: 12 At 5:18 p.m. on May 18, the Sinochem Fuling Ammonia Synthesis Plant started the process of warming and reducing the low-temperature shift catalyst, marking the official entry of the ammonia synthesis facility into the commissioning phase. General Manager Ye Shaohua personally led a team to the synthetic ammonia plant site to oversee the commissioning work, ensuring its smooth progress. The main function of the low-temperature conversion process is to reduce the CO content in the conversion gas and produce H2, an important raw material; it plays a crucial role in reducing the energy consumption in ammonia synthesis and stabilizing the ammonia production volume. For the temperature rise and reduction of this low-voltage catalyst, nitrogen circulation is primarily used for heating, offering advantages such as low cost, energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, as well as ease in protecting the catalyst and controlling the heating rate. The entire reduction process follows the principle of \"increasing temperature without increasing hydrogen pressure, and increasing hydrogen pressure without increasing temperature,\" while maintaining a low-pressure large-cycle operation.
