A modular system and method for producing urea from stranded natural gas includes removal of foreign particulate matter to obtain a substantially homogeneous gas. The gas is processed by controlling the quality of the stranded natural gas to maintain a substantially homogenous mixture The resultant gas stream is further cleaned and compressed to a high pressure of about 3,000 psi. The resultant ammonia stream is processed in a bypass recycling loop system at 30% conversion rate at a high pressure of about 6,000 to 7,000 psi. The equipment associated with each of the process steps may be skid mounted for portability and/or contained within the footprint of a standard 48-foot flatbed trailer.
A method for providing a consistent feedstock to a fertilizer production process that makes use of stranded natural gas as the feedstock, the method comprising the steps of:
A system for use in a fertilizer production process that uses stranded natural gas as a feedstock, the system comprising:
A system for producing fertilizer from a stranded natural gas source, the system comprising a set of portable modules arranged to convert a stranded natural gas feedstock into the fertilizer, the set including a purification module, the purification module including means for blending together stranded natural gas streams from different sources, the blended together stranded natural gas streams having a less variable BTU content than that of the stranded natural gas streams.
