BFD Of Haber Basch

Question 1

What is the purpose of primary reformer

Answer 1

1. Steam-methane reforming - converts methane and steam into hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide using nickel catalyst
2. Partial reforming - unreacted methane will undergo in secondary reformer with nitrogen air
3. Prepares gas for ammonia synthesis `

Question 2

What is the purpose of secondary reformer

Answer 2

introduces air to supply nitrogen (N₂) and ensures the complete conversion of methane (CH₄) into hydrogen (H₂) through further reforming and partial combustion. It also increases the temperature, optimizing the gas composition for ammonia synthesis.

Question 3

converts carbon monoxide (CO) into carbon dioxide (CO₂)

Answer 3

Shift converter

Question 4

in the Haber-Bosch process is used to remove impurities, primarily carbon dioxide (CO₂), from the gas stream before ammonia synthesis

Answer 4

Scrubber
