Synthetic ammonia

How is ammonia synthesis carried out exactly, and what are the key parameters? I beg earnestly
This problem is so big, and this process is so lengthy; you asked a chief engineer a question just because you didn’t know something; P
The latest domestically produced synthetic ammonia comes from Chengda Company; it requires 920 cubic meters of natural gas per ton of synthetic ammonia produced, with a daily production capacity of 650 tons. The electricity consumption is 740 kilowatts per ton, and the pressure is 140 kilograms. There are over 100 sets of equipment in total, including more than 20 types of moving machinery. You want too many things; it’s hard to say.
This process flow is really long – the source of CO varies (taking coal as an example), involving conversion and decarburization. . . .
Yes, coal is gasified to produce carbon monoxide, which is then converted into hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Hydrogen and nitrogen are combined to form ammonia, and subsequently urea is produced. It’s a rather complex process
