PLANT DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURE OF AMMONIA (GAS BASED)

Sincere efforts have been made to cover as comprehensively as possible the various aspects of the stated problem. The report begins with an introduction of ammonia and its importance as regards an Indian viewpoint. It gives a list of various properties and uses of ammonia, which have been prepared after an extensive literature survey. The report then describes the various processes that are available for its manufacture and then deals with the basic raw materials required for the ammonia manufacture i.e natural gas. It then covers the important aspects of process selection and the selected process is described in detail along with the relevant equations and flow diagrams.After this, report incorporates a detailed material and energy balance of the process selected. This is followed by a detailed chemical and mechanical design of some important equipment.
