What to Expect from an Ammonia cracker Unit?
These are the generators facilitating a chemical reaction involving ammonia i.e. NH3 disintegrated to produce hydrogen and nitrogen. These generators are the catalytic cracking units with the following reaction happening: 2NH3 = 3H2 + N2 Ammonia used here is of refrigeration grade and is supplied to the ammonia cracker unit from cylinders or tanks as feed. Ammonia crackers have been designed and developed in a wide flow range. Ranging from 1 nm3/hr, very small compact systems to extremely high cracked gas flow rates in a furnace to maximum of 1000 nm3/hr are being offered. Purity A unit will produce 75% H2: 25% N2 in general as a Standard output of cracked gas mixture. However, this ratio can be customized with the help of the manufacturer through some design changes as per requirement. The cracked gas mix can be modulated to get different percentages of hydrogen and nitrogen. The concentration of uncracked ammonia can also be modulated from 100 ppm to 1 ppm. Well, it all depends on...
