Powerful DCS-based APC (Advanced Process Control) for Ammonia Production Plant

A typical modern ammonia-producing plant first converts natural gas, liquified petroleum gas, or petroleum naphtha into gaseous hydrogen. Starting with a feedstock heavy in methane as a main component. The initial step in the process is to add steam, and the mixture goes to two reformer reactors where hydrogen plus carbon monoxide is formed. Air […]
