What is the power requirement for ammonia compressors in ammonia synthesis and for gas circulation compressors?
Thread Content
Taking 300,000 tons of synthetic ammonia as an example, what is the power of these two compressors? What is the power of the accompanying motor? Asking a fellow sea traveler
It should be driven by a steam turbine; ask the design institute for the specific power rating
The last edit to this post was made by 1573 on 2015-12-17 at 20:46; the four compression units used in the production of 300,000 tons of synthetic ammonia are generally driven by steam turbines! ! ! Gas turbines are also used in air compressors! ! Motors are generally not used! ! This site features: a synthetic ammonia plant with an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons, as well as centrifugal compressors. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=21024&highlight=30%CD%F2%B6%D6%BA%CF%B3%C9%B0%B1
It depends on the pressure of your syngas supply; assuming 3.0 MPa, the power requirement is 12,000 KW, with the ammonia compressor accounting for 7,000 KW. If the pressure of the syngas supply is 5.0 Ma, then the syngas compressor has a capacity of 7500 kW, while the ammonia compressor has a capacity of 7000 kW
Compressors for 300,000-ton synthetic ammonia plants: Syngas compressors can be divided into centrifugal compressors and reciprocating compressors. Ammonia compressors can be screw compressors or centrifugal compressors, while the compressors used for circulating gas can be reciprocating compressors; if they are centrifugal compressors, they are usually integrated with the syngas compressors. The power level is related to the air supply pressure of the entire system (i.e., the pressure of the water gas produced by vaporization), as well as to the process pressure in the ammonia synthesis system; therefore, it cannot be generalized.
