Ammonia production at scale with the lowest carbon intensity
Written by Ameet Kakoti, Proposal Manager and Per Juul Dahl, Fellow.
Summary
As a major component of the sustainable energy transition, low carbon ammonia (also commonly referred to as ‘blue’ ammonia) will need to be produced at never-before seen capacities. This will challenge traditional, tubular reformer-based solutions, both in terms of OPEX and CAPEX but also in terms of emission management. Instead of following the traditional steam methane reforming process scheme, nowadays several well-proven, mature options are available and much more suited for high-efficiency blue production.
The article covers:
- An overview of the reforming technologies used at ammonia plants
- Presentation of SynCOR™, a synthesis gas generation technology using autothermal reforming
- Visualisation of a SynCOR Ammonia™ process layout
- A case study comparing three SynCOR™ plants at 4,000 t/d capacity.
