In this process, only part of the natural gas feed is treated in the primary reformer, and the rest is reformed directly in the secondary reformer using excess air. The excess nitrogen is removed in a cryogenic separation upstream of the synthesis loop. The features of this new low energy ammonia process, and the related advantages in terms of energy savings, make it suitable for revamping existing ammonia plants, with attractive economics.
