AMMONIA PLANT

The ammonia plant has a capacity of 1100 MT per day of liquid anhydrous ammonia. After
revamping the plant capacity raised to 1260 MT per day. The plant is a single stream unit,
comprising of the following process steps.
1) Hydro fining of Naphtha based on IIP - IFP process.
2) Primary reforming of naphtha based on ICI process.
3) Secondary Reforming.
4) CO Conversion.
5) CO2 removal by Giammarco-Vetrocoke process.
6) Methanation.
7) Ammonia synthesis is based on ICI process.
8) Ammonia Recovery and Storage.
9) Hydrogen Recovery from loop purge gas designed and supplied by Nippon Sanso
K.K.
In addition to the above, the ammonia plant has the following utilities integrated with it.
1) Tank farm for storing raw naphtha, sweet naphtha, fuel oil and high aromatic fuel
naphtha.
2) Cooling tower.
3) Inert gas generation unit.
4) Auxiliary boiler and Additional Steam Generation Unit
5) Instrumentation system
6) Imported Ammonia Storage station.
7) Captive Power Plant.
