摘要:
A method for controlling the effective heat transfer from a storage unit (1). During gas release from storage material (3) in the storage unit the storage material is heated by a heater (2). During re-saturation of the storage material (3) with gas the heater is off. Controlling of the effective heat transfer from the storage unit (1) is performed, during gas release, by ceasing convection of a convection gas and, during re-saturation, by performing or enabling convection of a convection gas to cool the storage unit (1).

A method for synthesis of ammonia includes compressing a synthesis gas containing hydrogen and nitrogen in a multi-stage (50, 56 and 57) centrifugal compressor. The synthesis gas is compressed to a pressure of from about 800 to 900 psia in the first stage (50) of the compressor, and withdrawn therefrom and subjected to cooling and dehydration by contact with liquid ammonia in a dehydrator (54). The cooled, dehydrated synthesis gas is then returned to the compressor and introduced into the second stage (56) thereof. Because of this interstage cooling and dehydration, compressor speed may be reduced and significant savings in power consumption are attained because of the favorable effect of the dehydrator (54) on the last two stages (56, 57) of the compressor. Additional power saving is realized because refrigeration requirements for the synthesis loop are reduced. Apparatus to carry out the process includes a centrifugal compressor fitted with a synthesis gas outlet (2, 4 and 6) connecting the discharge of the first stage (50) of the compressor with the synthesis gas inlet of the dehydrator (54), and a synthesis gas intermediate inlet (8) connecting the inlet of the second stage (56) of the compressor in flow communication with the synthesis gas outlet of the dehydrator (54).
摘要:
The present disclosure provides a container for holding an aqueous solution comprising ammonia, comprising a main ventilation line at the apex of the container and a hatch, wherein the container comprises a secondary ventilation line fluidly connecting the hatch to the main ventilation line. The present disclosure also provides a method for increasing the safety of a container configured for holding an aqueous solution comprising ammonia, and a method for reducing the fire hazard in a container configured for holding an aqueous solution comprising ammonia.
