Does the load level of the ammonia synthesis plant affect the net ammonia content at the outlet of the synthesis tower? Can it be analyzed from a theoretical perspective? What is the reality then?
It has an impact; when the load is high, the ammonia yield decreases at the same pressure, as a higher load inevitably leads to an increased space velocity, thereby reducing the time each volume of molecules spends in contact with the catalyst
Agree with the view from the second floor: Moreover, when the load is too high, in addition to the shortened residence time of the gas in the catalyst layer, the conversion rate of gas to ammonia also decreases； When the temperature of the catalyst layer is high, the driving force for the chemical reaction decreases, affecting the synthesis rate! !
