How much hydrogen and nitrogen is needed to produce one ton of liquid ammonia? How is it calculated? Please help me answer this question, thank you!
Reply 1# Burning corn requires 2600 cubic meters of hydrogen. Nitrogen is 3/1 of hydrogen.
According to chemical formula: N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3 4×22.4 2×17
What the third floor said is very correct. Including leakage and losses, the consumption of each factory is different, usually 2800-2900.
Theoretically, it is 2635 cubic meters, but the situation of each factory is not the same. However, it is generally around 2900 cubic meters.
Theoretically this is how it is calculated, but in reality it is larger, the amount of short selling, and all aspects are added up. Our factory is a bit high, reaching 3200 cubic meters.
Our factory is about 3000
Our factory is around 2850
Summarize according to our operation situation: The production of one ton of ammonia is between 2800~2900NM3
The theory is 2635Nm3 H2/N2=3/1. Our new process guarantees that 2670Nm3 will produce one ton of ammonia, haha
Nowadays, one ton of ammonia in large ammonia plants requires refined gas that is close to the theoretical value. I wonder how many large ammonia plants actually there are? How much leakage is considered in the synthesis section?
