A green ammonia plant requires the following laboratory facilities:
Pressure swing adsorption system: Extracts nitrogen from air
Modular electrolyser: Splits hydrogen from water
Synthesis loop: Combines hydrogen and nitrogen to make ammonia
Air separation unit: Produces nitrogen required for Haber–Bosch synthesis
Green ammonia plants differ from conventional ammonia plants in several ways:
Heat removal
Green ammonia plants use cooling air or water to remove heat, while conventional plants recycle heat from the Haber–Bosch reactor.
Nitrogen production
Green ammonia plants have a dedicated air separation unit to produce nitrogen, while conventional plants remove oxygen from air in an autothermal reformer.
Compressor power
Green ammonia plants use electricity to drive compressors, while conventional plants use steam.
