Apparatus and process to provide cooling water for ammonia and or hydrogen productions

An apparatus for providing cooling water for ammonia and/or hydrogen production comprising:

• an ammonia plant configured to output ammonia;
• a hydrogen plant configured to form hydrogen, the hydrogen plant connected to the ammonia plant to feed hydrogen from hydrogen manufacturing and nitrogen from an ASU to the ammonia plant;
• a first cooling circuit comprising a first water cooling tower configured to output a first stream of cooling water at a first pre-selected temperature;
• and
• a second cooling circuit comprising a second water cooling tower configured to output a second stream of cooling water at a second pre-selected temperature;
• the first water cooling tower is positioned and configured to feed a first portion of the first stream of cooling water to at least one first heat exchanger for cooling at least one fluid output from the ammonia plant and also feed a second portion of the first stream of cooling water to at least one second heat exchanger for cooling at least one fluid output from the ASU and/or the hydrogen manufacturing of the hydrogen plant;
• and
• the second water cooling tower positioned and configured to feed the second stream of cooling water to at least one third heat exchanger for cooling at least one fluid output from one or more gas coolers of the hydrogen plant and/or one or more electrolyte coolers of the hydrogen plant.
