What is the scale of ammonia production nowadays?
Thread Content
A synthetic ammonia plant near the facility has a capacity of 50,000 tons per year, which seems quite small. What is the typical scale of the plants where everyone works?
Currently, it is appropriate for urea production enterprises to have an ammonia synthesis capacity of 80,000–100,000 tons per year or more; such facilities are well-suited for undergoing new technological upgrades. If the capacity is too low, the costs of upgrading become high and the overall benefits achieved are limited.
The ammonia synthesis capacity of a plant is determined by its total production volume; the capacity of a single unit on the second floor amounts to 450,000 tons, which ranks it among the top few in the country.
Our 250,000 tons seems not that much either; Yunnan has one with an annual production capacity of 500,000 tons
**There seem to be some regulations regarding the current scale of ammonia production, with a minimum requirement of 200,000 tons per year of nitrogen fertilizers. Domestically, it’s generally within the million-ton range; there’s no need to build it that large. There are large foreign chemical manufacturers in Australia with capacities of over 10 million tons per year. However, if there is hope in the future to develop new industrial chains based on ammonia, it will surely have great prospects.
Our plant has a capacity of 140,000 tons per unit; **it seems that the smaller units were to be shut down in 2011. Probably less than 300,000 tons
Recently, domestic designs have mostly focused on 300,000 tons of synthesis and 520,000 tons of urea. For even the biggest ones, foreign technology must be used, right! ! !
Our plant produces 300,000 tons of synthetic ammonia and 520,000 tons of urea.
