7 Process Description Ammonia is produced basically from water, air, and energy. The energy source is usually hydrocarbons, thus providing hydrogen as well, but may also be coal or electricity. Steam reforming of light hydrocarbons is the most efficient route, with about 77% of world ammonia capacity being based on natural gas. Process Description 5
8 Figure 1 Block diagram of the steam/air reforming process. Ammonia plants using natural gas as a feedstock include the following units: Natural Gas Desulfurization The natural gas is delivered as dry gas containing a maximum of 0 ppm by weight of sulfur, which is a poison for the reformer catalyst. The desulfurization unit reduces the sulfur content to about 5 ppm by hydrogenating it to hydrocarbons and hydrogen sulfide and then absorbing the hydrogen sulfide in zinc oxides. 6 Process Description
9 Reforming Unit This unit contains two sections, one is primary reforming, and another is secondary reforming. The desulfurized hydrocarbon feed is reformed to hydrogen and carbon oxides in the presence of steam in the primary reformer, and additionally with hot air in the secondary reformer. The reformed gas contains about 0. vol% CH. Carbon Monoxide Conversion In the CO-shift conversion, the major part of the CO contained in the reformed gas is catalytically converted to CO in two catalytic stages, the first at high temperature and the second at low temperature. Carbon Dioxide Removal The carbon dioxide is removed from the converted gas in the CO removal. CO is captured by NH and it will generate ammonium hydrogen carbonate as byproduct. The purified gas with about 0.1 vol% CO is called synthesis gas. Methanation Unit Even small quantities of CO (0.1 vol%) and CO (0. vol%) are poisons for the ammonia synthesis catalyst. Thus they are reacted to methane over a nickel catalyst. The residual content of CO + CO is less than 10 ppm. Synthesis Unit The synthesis gas is pressurized by a centrifugal compressor to approximately 00 bar and hydrogen and nitrogen are catalytically converted to ammonia. Tailgas Scrubbing The ammonia in the purge gas from the ammonia unit is recovered in the tailgas scrubbing unit and fed to a refrigeration unit. The treated purge gas is used as fuel for the primary reformer. The building blocks offered in this package do not model this section of the plant. Refrigeration The ammonia gas in the synthesis loop is liquefied by ammonia evaporation in the ammonia chiller and discharged as feed to the urea process and to ammonia storage. The building blocks offered in this package do not model this section of the plant. Process Description 7
10 Physical Properties Equation-of-state models provide an accurate description of the thermodynamic properties of the high-temperature, high-pressure conditions encountered in ammonia plants. The Redlich-Kwong modification RKS-BM was chosen for this application. In most cases, the model parameters were taken from the Aspen physical property databanks. Special accuracy improvements were made to the RKS-BM model as follows: The pure-component properties of ammonia were modified to improve the vapor pressure and enthalpy of vaporization, which is important for the synthesis section. The binary interaction parameters of H, N, Ar and CH with ammonia were modified in order to obtain accurate solubilities of these species in ammonia, which is important for the synthesis and refrigeration sections. The binary parameters of the air system (N, O, Ar) were modified in order to enable an accurate simulation of the vapor-liquid equilibrium in the nitrogen plant. Electrolyte NRTL method and RK equation of state are used to compute liquid and vapor properties respectively in the CO Removal Unit. The NRTL parameters for electrolyte pairs were regressed against VLE data from Maurer (1988) [1]. NH is selected as Henry-components to which Henry s law is applied and the Henry s constants are specified. 8 Physical Properties
11 5 Chemical Reactions Reforming Unit The main reaction occurring in the reformer is the conversion of methane to a mixture of CO, CO and H: CH (Endothermic) (A-1) + H O CO + H CO + H (Exothermic) (A-) O CO + H The kinetics expression for Reaction A-1, the reforming reaction, (Moe and Gerhard, 1965) [] is as follows: R k KPCH P HO PH P CO lb mole 79 hr ft (A-) The partial pressures are converted to expressions of molar quantities by assuming ideal gas behavior. The factor 79 is needed to convert the units from SCF to moles. H CO kp R K CH HO - P SS 79 SS SS is the total number of moles of mixture per mole of methane fed. (A-) Moe and Gerhard arbitrarily set the P term to 1.0 in order to correlate their data taken from pressures above atmospheric. Therefore, the final form of the model does not have a P term, but is lumped in with the specific rate constant k as: k A c e T 60 (A-5) The factor Ac, catalyst activity, is used in the model to give a reasonable reactor performance for the methane conversion. It may be adjusted such that reactor performance matches plant data. The equilibrium constant, K, with units of atm, is equal to K1K. Hyman (1967) [] gives: K 1 9, 5 exp atm t 60 (A-6) 5 Chemical Reactions 9
12 K K 8,0 exp t60.5 below 1,100 F (A-7) 7,51. exp t above 1,100 F (A-8) where, t is the temperature in F. Chemical equilibrium is assumed for the water shift reaction for which the following holds: (H )(CO ) K = (H O)(CO) (A-9) The reaction kinetics have been implemented in user kinetics Fortran subroutines of the RPlug model. The Fortran subroutines are REFKIN, DRATE, and KFORMC. Subroutines REFKIN and KFORMC are interface routines necessary to interface the Aspen Plus RPlug model with DRATE, the Fortran kinetics subroutine developed by Mok (198) []. The pressure drop expression adopted is as follows: dp = P fact Z Z (A-10) dz Where, Z: tube length (ft) P: pressure (atm) Pfact: or: pressure drop factor (a function of catalyst characteristics) 1 1 P P 0.018Z 0.009Z Z (A-11) fact The pressure drop expression has been implemented as a user pressure drop Fortran subroutine of RPlug model. The Fortran subroutine is REFPD. Since the net reaction in the primary reformer is endothermic, the heattransfer rate is critical to the rate of reaction in the tube. The heat-transfer rate is determined by the tube inside and outside heat-transfer coefficients, the flame temperature, and the gas temperature. The heat transfer from the flame to the outside of the tube occurs primarily by radiation. Here an outside heat transfer coefficient is defined for ease of calculation. Flux ht T T ht T T (A-1) in W out f W The tube-wall temperature Tw is calculated from the second equality. T W htouttf htint ht ht out in (A-1) The flux is in units of BTU/hr/sq ft of inside tube area. The htin and htout are the inside and outside heat-transfer coefficients in units of BTU/hr/F/ft of inside tube-wall area. Both coefficients vary with gas temperature T. The inside heat-transfer coefficient is an overall physical coefficient determined 10 5 Chemical Reactions
13 only by the properties of the fluid. Beek (196) gave the following correlation for estimating htin: D 1/ 1/ P in Re p Prp 0.09 Re p Pr k p ht = f (A-1) Hyman (1967) reported that the factor 0. is needed to account for the smaller value of htin when ring-shaped catalyst is used instead of the pellets used by Beck. The calculation of the thermal conductivity kf, viscosity, and heat capacity were taken from Mok (198). The heat-transfer rate outside the tube is assumed to be governed by a radiant heat-transfer mechanism: D f, r w, r out f w out Flux c T T ht T T Din (A-15) where Din and Dout are the inside and outside diameters of the tube, c is the product of the Stefan-Boltzman constant and the effective emissivity, Tf,r and Tw,r are the flame temperature and tube-wall temperature in degrees Rankine. The heat transfer rate was implemented as user heat transfer Fortran subroutines of RPlug model. The Fortran subroutines are REFHT, KFORMC, HTCOEF, TWALL, BPARM, and RKEQ. Subroutines REFHT and KFORMC are interface routines necessary to interface Aspen Plus RPlug model with other Fortran subroutines developed by Mok (198). HTCOEF computes the heat transfer coefficient. TWALL computes the tube wall temperature. BPARM and RKEQ are physical property routines used to compute transport properties needed in HTCOEF and TWALL. The primary reformer is generally represented by 1- RPlug reactors in series, representing the number of firing zones of the unit in the plant. This allows the fuel requirements of each fired zone to be calculated separately. The fuel fed to the reformer contains hydrocarbons higher than methane, whereas Equation (A-1) only represents the reforming of methane. These higher hydrocarbons, however, are rapidly converted to methane and are thus accurately modeled using a simple RSTOIC block prior to the reformer tube with the following reactions: C H 6 + H O 5CH + CO (A-16) C H8 + H O 7CH + CO (A-17) n - C H10 + H O 9CH + CO (A-18) i - C H10 + H O 9CH + CO (A-19) C H1 + H O 11CH + CO 5 (A-0) C H1 + 5H O 1CH + 5CO 6 (A-1) C H16 + 6H O 15CH + 6CO 7 (A-) The reformer burners are described by RSTOIC blocks in which the combustion is complete. The burner temperature sets the radiant heattransfer temperature for the reformer tubes; and the heat generated in the 5 Chemical Reactions 11
14 burner is equal to the heat absorbed in the reformer tubes. The combination of the RPlug blocks for the reformer tubes and RSTOIC blocks for the burners provides an accurate simulation of the reformer unit. Carbon Monoxide Conversion Low-Temperature Shift Reactor The low-temperature shift reactor is modeled as a plug flow reactor, RPlug. The reaction stoichiometry considered is: CO + H (A-) O CO + H The kinetics expression (Slack, 197) [5] is as follows: 1/ K F T kltycoy ref HO 1- K rco A c T 1 P k A Y CO k B Y CO K F (Y = ( Y CO CO )( Y )( Y H H O ) ) (A-) (A-5) where: Ac = catalyst activity klt = exp (60/T -.16) standard LT catalyst activity in lb-mol/hr/ft /atm K = exp (80/(t+59.7) -.) ka = exp (580/T - 7.6) atm -1 kb = exp (1500/T -.6)atm -1 Tref = 51.1K T = temperature in K t = temperature in F The reaction kinetics has been implemented in a user kinetics Fortran subroutine under the RPlug model. The Fortran rate subroutine is LTKIN, which calls KFORMC for obtaining the component locations. High-Temperature Shift Reactor The high-temperature shift reactor is modeled as a plug flow reactor, RPlug. The reaction stoichiometry considered is: CO + H (A-6) O CO + H The kinetics expression (Slack, 197) is as follows: CO + H (A-7) O CO + H 1 5 Chemical Reactions

Ac = catalyst activity below 1100F kht = exp ( /T) standard HT catalyst activity in lb-mol/hr/ft /atm 1/ T = temperature in K t = temperature in F (A-9) (A-0) The reaction kinetics was implemented in a user kinetics Fortran subroutine under the RPlug model. The Fortran rate subroutine is HTKIN, which calls KFORMC for obtaining the component locations. Carbon Dioxide Removal The electrolyte solution chemistry has been modeled with a CHEMISTRY model with ID of NH. Chemical equilibrium is assumed with all the ionic reactions in the CHEMISTRY NH. In addition, a kinetic REACTION model named NH has been created. In NH, all reactions are assumed to be in chemical equilibrium except the reactions of CO with OH- and the reactions of CO with NH. A.

[6]. In addition, the power law expressions are used for the ratecontrolled reactions (reactions -7 in REA-NH) and the general power law expression is: r k E 1 R T 1 T n T T 0 exp 0 If T0 is not specified, the reduced power law expression is used: r kt n exp ( E RT ) N i1 C ai i N i1 C ai i (A-6) (A-7) In this file, the reduced expressions are used. In equation A-7, the concentration basis is Molarity, the factor n is zero, k and E are given in Table. The kinetic parameters for reactions -7 in Table are derived from the work of Pinsent [7].

17 The parameters A, B and C were regressed against SLE data from Trypuc et al. [8]. Table. Parameters A, B and C in Equation A-8 Reaction A B C NH HCO salt precipitation Methanation Unit The methanation reactor, which removes trace amounts of CO from H-rich synthesis feed mixtures, is modeled as a plug flow reactor by RPlug. Two reactions occur in the methanation reactor: CO + H CH + HO (A-9) CO + H CH + HO (A-50) Yadav and Rinker (199) [9] developed empirical correlations for the methanation of CO (Equation A-9) as part of a laboratory data program. Their correlation, based upon a proposed Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism is as follows: r 0.5 H PCO 0.5 CO CPH (A-51) 1 AP BP where r is the reaction rate in mol/g.s, P refers to partial pressures in kpa, and A, B and C are empirical constants determined at each temperature. Yadav and Rinker (199) covered a broad range of CO concentrations, but for methanation we are mainly interested in very low CO levels. At low CO concentrations, Equation A-8 simplifies to the following form: A r C P CO 0.5 PH (A-5) The data reported by Yadav and Rinker at 50, 51 and 59 K were fitted to a simple Arrhenius equation as follows: 1 1 1,00 T 51 PCO 0.5 PH r 0.1e (A-5) Proper modeling of the methanation must include the effect of the backward reaction as equilibrium is approached. Hence, the complete version of Equation A-5 is as follows: 1 1 1,00 T 51 P ych y HO r Ac 0.1e y 0.5 CO PH y H P K CO (A-5) 5 Chemical Reactions 15
18 where, P is the pressure in kpa, y is the component mole fraction, KCO is the equilibrium constant for Reaction A-9 and Ac is the catalyst activity factor. K e CO 8.5 6,70/ T (A-55) Kinetic data are not available for the methanation of CO. We use the same kinetic expression for CO as for CO, recognizing the weakness of this approach, but also recognizing that the concentration of CO in the process stream is very small. The rate of Reaction A-50 is given as: 1 1 1,00 T 51 ych y P HO 0.5 CO PH y H P K CO r Ac 0.1e y K e CO.9 1,61/ T (A-56) (A-57) Synthesis Unit The ammonia synthesis converter beds are modeled as a plug flow reactor by RPlug.

Nielsen also gave the following formula for evaluating the activities: Ai Ci exp P a x P B A x A RT RT T i i i i i i where: R = Gas constant (=0.086) P = Pressure in atm T = Temperature in K xi = mole fraction of component i The values of A's, B's and C's are listed below: i A i B i C i H x 10 N x 10 NH x 10 6 Ar CH.769 (A-6) The reaction kinetics has been implemented by a user kinetics Fortran subroutine of RPlug model named SYNKIN. Subroutine SYNKIN calls RNH, the Fortran kinetics subroutine developed by Mok (1981). Subroutine KFORMC is used to find the component integer variables from the Aspen Plus system. 5 Chemical Reactions 17

23 8 Conclusions The Ammonia model provides a useful description of the process. The simulation has been developed using many of the capabilities of Aspen Plus including unit operation models, physical property methods, models and data, and flowsheeting capabilities like convergence design specs. The model provides rigorous mass and energy balance information for ammonia production, and can be used to support the conceptual process design. This model also can be used in developing reaction simulations with RPlug. The model is meant to be used as a guide for modeling ammonia production. Users may use it as a starting point for more sophisticated models. 8 Conclusions 1
