Pipeline-gas Demonstration Plant. Phase I: Demonstration Plant engineering and design. Volume 14: Plant Section 1300 - Ammonia Recovery

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6177895
Contract No. EF-77-C-01-2542 between Conoco Inc. and the US Department of Energy provides for the design, construction, and operation of a demonstration plant capable of processing bituminous caking coals into clean pipeline quality gas. The project is currently in the design phase (Phase I). This phase is scheduled to be completed in June 1981. One of the major efforts of Phase I is the process and project engineering design of the Demonstration Plant. The design has been completed and is being reported in 24 volumes. This is Volume 14 which covers the design of Plant Section 1300 - Ammonia Recovery. The purpose of the Ammonia Recovery unit is to remove ammonia and acid gases from the gas liquor stream from the Phenol Extraction unit. The ammonia and acid gases are detrimental to the operation of the waste water treatment system. The PHOSAM-W Process is used to remove the ammonia and acid gases from the gas liquor to produce a saleable anhydrous ammonia produce and an acid gas stream which is processed in Plant Section 900 - Sulfur Recovery. The Ammonia Recovery unit is designed to produce 717 pounds per hour of ammonia contained in 32,084 pounds per hour of gas liquor.
