Gas consumption per ton of ammonia?
Thread Content
Given that the composition of the synthetic gas is 65.4% H2 and 14% CH4, how can the amount of gas required to produce one ton of liquid ammonia be calculated?

What the original poster is referring to is probably the composition of the circulating gas; the methane content in the replenished gas shouldn’t be that high. The ratio of supplemental nitrogen to hydrogen is basically 3:1, with the theoretical amount of nitrogen and hydrogen required per ton of ammonia being 2635 Nm3.
Methane should be down by another 12!
It’s a relatively simple calculation; you need to take into account the methane content in the air. First, determine the methane balance for the entire system, and then you can know the amount of air that needs to be released. By using this methane balance, it’s possible to determine the amount of air that must be released per ton of ammonia. Adding this value gives you the total amount of air required per ton of ammonia produced. You’re using a fixed-bed reactor! ! ! ? ! ! ! :victory::victory::victory:
