Production and Energy Improvement Debottlenecking Studies
Natural gas is primarily used as a feedstock for ammonia production and represents a major portion of the total production cost. Depending on the plant’s cost structure, natural gas may account for 50% to 65% of the total ammonia production cost. With rising gas prices and supply constraints, energy consumption has become one of the most critical considerations for ammonia plants profitability.
NH3Process offers comprehensive Debottlenecking Studies that evaluate current plant performance, also called Base Case, and develop revamp options featuring improved and innovative flowsheets aimed at reducing energy consumption and increasing ammonia production – all in the most economically feasible and technically viable manners.
Revamp modifications and flowsheets prepared by our team have successfully implemented and commissioned across ammonia plants globally, resulting in improved production and energy as well as improving plants reliability and profitability.
As part of the study, NH3Process simulates the full plant configuration, including:
