Ammonia production
Alfa Laval’s ammonia production solution helps producers optimize energy-intensive processes. Our compact, efficient heat exchangers for ammonia production boost energy efficiency, uptime, and profitability while supporting optimized ammonia synthesis.
A comprehensive portfolio of ammonia production equipment
Ammonia producers can depend on Alfa Laval’s expertise and broad portfolio of ammonia production solution. Our global service and support help you reduce energy consumption and raise yields across your plant.
High-pressure heat exchangers for ammonia production
The Alfa Laval OLMI portfolio provides robust heat exchangers for ammonia production that meet the needs of the most critical high-temperature, high-pressure processes. This range includes specialized ammonia production equipment such as waste heat boilers, process gas heaters, steam drums, and boiler feed water preheaters.
Optimize ammonia synthesis with Packinox
Placing a specially designed Alfa Laval Packinox feed/effluent heat exchanger before the converter is a key way to optimize ammonia synthesis at your plant. This advanced heat exchanger raises the temperature of feed gas using excess heat from the reactor effluent. Compared to conventional shell-and-tube technologies, Packinox offers significant capital savings on installation and reduces both operating costs and energy consumption.
Compact heat exchangers for cooling and amine sections
With its compact size and unrivalled heat transfer capabilities, the innovative, laser-welded Alfa Laval Compabloc is an ideal heat exchanger for ammonia production, perfectly suited for use as a compressor inter-stage cooler and for heat recovery in preheating positions.
In the amine section, our Compabloc, gasketed, and semi-welded plate heat exchangers increase energy efficiency for preheating, reboiling, and condensation duties. Their low hold-up volumes also reduce the amount of amine required and limit degradation.
Complete plant and utility solutions
Beyond the main process, Alfa Laval provides a broad range of ammonia production equipment for utility sections, including solutions for wastewater treatment and high-speed separators for lube oil cleaning.
