Figurę 13. ATR scheme for 5000 MTPD plant
When very high ammonia plant capacity is desired, the technology used for the reforming section may change to an autothermal reformer based reforming unit, to utilise the benefit of the ATR for very large plants as a result of economy of scalę considerations. The ATR scheme is illustrated in Figurę 13.
The ATR is fired with oxygen produced in a dedicated air separation unit (ASU), and a hydrogen-rich synthesis gas is produced. This synthesis gas is passing through the two shift reactors before the C02 is removed. Nitrogen for the ammonia synthesis is produced in the ASU and added in a nitrogen wash unit (NWU) located just upstream of the synthesis compressor. In this way the gas flow through the front-end is kept at a minimum. The steam to carbon ratio can in principle be very Iow in the ATR, often below 1 in synthesis gas plants, but in ammonia plants, due to the shift reaction and heat input requirement for the C02 section, the steam to carbon ratio is kept at a relative high level - around 2.2 - 2.3 depending upon actual gas conditions.
After the NWU the synthesis gas contains only hydrogen and nitrogen in the desired ratio, and the ammonia synthesis can be operated under inert-free conditions. This results in minimum flow in the ammonia synthesis loop, and the converter size is minimised as well due to the very reactive synthesis gas.
