How to Extend the Service Life of Primary Reforming Catalyst in Synthesis Ammonia Unit?

Producing synthesis ammonia with lower cost is the main requirements of agriculture and industry. As the global demand for food grows, the application of synthetic ammonia in modern agriculture is increasing. However, high cost and low benefit are the real problems faced by agriculture, in which fertilizer accounts for a relatively high proportion of costs.

Synthetic ammonia, as the main source of raw materials for chemical fertilizers, is directly synthesized from nitrogen and hydrogen in the presence of high temperature, high pressure and catalysts, using natural gas, naphtha, heavy oil and coal (or coke) as raw materials. Among them, the service life of the catalyst plays an important role in the cost of ammonia synthesis. As a professional supplier of synthetic ammonia series catalysts, Shandong Avant is committed to reducing costs and increasing productivity for synthetic ammonia plants.

Then,taking the primary reforming catalyst in synthesis ammonia unit as an example,

let us to give you five methods to extend the service life of the catalyst.

1. Minimize physical blockage.

2. Ensure the loading quality of the catalyst.

3. Strengthen desulfurization management.

4. Control the temperature rise and reduction of the catalyst.

5. Strict operation.
