Ammonia Cracker

Cracked Ammonia finds wide application in steel industry for various heat treatment processes. We design, manufacture and supply customized ammonia cracker to meet customer’s demand as per their requirements. Heat treatment results are found very sound in the presence of mixture of hydrogen and inert nitrogen.

Basic Description

Ammonia gas from cylinders passed over a bed of nickel catalyst at 850°C temperature and cracking take place in two different gas i.e. 75% Hydrogen and 25% Nitrogen.

2NH3->N2 + 3H2 (In Presence of Nickel Catalyst at 850°C)

Ammonia cracking is endothermic reaction and require heat from other source. The source is electrically heated/gas fired furnace (Rectangular Shape) and a retort made of heat resistance alloy is provided to hold the ammonia cracking catalyst.

Cracked ammonia from furnace is cooled to ambient temperature in a shell &Tube type heat exchanger and having dew point around (-) 30°C. Further product gas is passed through a molecular sieves filled Gas Purifier to achieve a dew point up to (-) 80°C.
