A green ammonia plant typically needs the following equipment and facilities:
Pressure swing adsorption system: Extracts nitrogen from the air
Modular electrolyzer: Splits hydrogen from water
Synthesis loop: Combines hydrogen and nitrogen to make ammonia
Thermal management system: Part of the synthesis loop
Compressor: Pressurizes the synthesis loop
Reactor: Converts hydrogen and nitrogen gas into ammonia
Heat exchanger: Heats the inlet stream of the reactor
Separation system: Extracts ammonia from the process
Recycle and purge streams: Recover unreacted hydrogen and nitrogen gas
Green ammonia is made from local resources using renewable energy sources, which reduces the exposure to fossil fuel price volatility. It can be used as a carbon-free flexible asset for grid services and long-term energy storage.
