Synopsis
Supplies all the information and data needed to choose an optimum system and design large-capacity facilities for ammonia synthesis. Explains the various operations involved in ammonia manufacture, including: synthesizing ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen; steam-reforming natural gas and hydrocarbons to make hydrogen, and partial oxidation of fuel oils to make hydrogen; absorption of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide; hydrogen purification with liquid nitrogen; coversion of carbon monoxide and water to carbon dioxide and hydrogen; and conversion of carbon monoxide to methane.
