Application of lithium bromide technology in ammonia synthesis
Thread Content
Our factory is a small nitrogen fertilizer producer that manufactures 150,000 tons of synthetic ammonia per year. Our boss now has a new idea: to apply lithium bromide technology in the compression stage of synthetic ammonia production. In other words, we want to use lithium bromide technology to utilize coolant water as input for the compressors, and we need to determine where the heat source for lithium bromide should be located…… Please advise us on the best approach
Sure, there are plenty of options available. Our company has been using them for two or three years now. There’s a lot of technical information available online that can be consulted. In general, there are many sources of heat that can be used in ammonia synthesis systems: hot water from conversion processes, water generated during synthesis, as well as hot water from other processes; temperatures around 90 degrees Celsius work fine. Low-pressure steam derived from waste heat can also be used
Attention must be paid to the issue of blockages in the heat exchanger; this is key to the success of using lithium bromide technology at the inlet of the compressor, as semi-water gas is not entirely clean after desulfurization before entering the compressor inlet.

With the dual electrostatic defouling technology in use, there are no issues with the quality of the gas entering the compressor. However, since the lithium bromide was introduced, the volume of gas flowing through the system has increased significantly, and overpressure conditions often occur in the later stages of the system.
Are you referring to lithium bromide units? A quick search online reveals several companies, such as Shuangliang and Yantai Ebara, etc.; you can get in touch with them. These technologies are already highly mature
Of course, gas purification must be done properly. The electrostatic coking removal tower after desulfurization needs to be operated effectively; otherwise, a lot of tar and sulfur will end up in the compressor, causing pipe blockages
Also, make sure the pipes aren’t too narrow; otherwise blockages can occur, and this is a precaution. :victory:
