Abstract
The invention relates to a system and a method for generating ammonia, wherein, in an ammonia reactor, ammonia (NH3) is generated from a synthesis gas, wherein the synthesis gas contains hydrogen (H2) and nitrogen (N2), wherein a nitrogren supply flow and a first heat exchanger are used, which are designed in such a way that the hot ammonia (NH3) flowing out of the ammonia reactor heats the nitrogen used as synthesis gas in the nitrogen supply flow.
Claims12
A plant for producing ammonia, comprising:
- an ammonia reactor configured for producing ammonia (NH3) from a synthesis gas, wherein the synthesis gas comprises hydrogen (H2) and nitrogen (N2);
- and
- a nitrogen feed and a first heat exchanger configured such that the ammonia (NH3) exiting the ammonia reactor heats the nitrogen used as synthesis gas in the nitrogen feed.
