Novel Way of Nitrogen Cost Reduction for Ammonia Industry
Novel Way of Nitrogen Cost Reduction
in Ammonia Industry
David Judbarovski, systems engineering,

Ammonia is USD 270.0 – 340.0/ton (end of 2018
yr.), about 150 million ton in a year.
Its prices are very volatile and don’t reflect
their real CapEx and OpEx, as it is followed from analysis of Ammonia Prices
Chart for more than two decades. A share of CapEx in price of ammonia is ordinary
very overstated, but can be no more than some tens USA dollars per a ton of
ammonia.
Anyways, a share of nitrogen in ammonia’s
price is 10-20%. I can offer a very cheap and wonderfully simple way to reduce
the said cost by a half, and apparatus for it is simple, cheap, light and small,
and well scalable.
If burning of one portion of ammonia
in the air, by that way we obtain pure nitrogen in quantity for production of seven
portions of ammonia, plus a lot of high temperature energy free for the ammonia
plant processing.
NH3 + 3/4 (O2 + 4 N2 = air) = 3.5 N2 + 1.5
H2O + 46 kJ /mol = 750 kWh per a ton ammonia
Because hydrogen being another reactant, was
and is much more expensive now than nitrogen, I had offered a chain of breakthrough
inventions totally allowing as cheapest hydrogen, as cheapest and green ammonia
in order of magnitude cheaper than present world prices, and breakthrough novel
transportation, but they are other stories had been published by me and open for
everybody.
