SynCOR Ammonia™

a new generation of ammonia plants with an unprecedented economy of scale

Our SynCOR Ammonia™ plant concept offers the ammonia industry an opportunity to produce ammonia in a smarter, safer and more profitable way – with significantly reduced environmental impact. SynCOR Ammonia™ utilizes stand-alone autothermal reforming for the production of syngas instead of conventional tubular reforming. The technology brings significant benefits in large-scale applications, most notably an extremely low steam-to-carbon ratio of 0.6 and potential for single-train capacities exceeding 6,000 MTPD. This enables ammonia and urea producers to gain unprecedented economy of scale that cannot be achieved with conventional technology. You can read more about SynCOR Ammonia™ here.

When market opportunities or challenges call for product diversification, you’d want as a plant owner to be looking at integrated process solutions that can give you the flexibility you need to get ahead and stay there. Diversifying your product mix is an important strategic decision to gain added value, no matter if you are a new or an existing producer.

Plant owners who require flexibility benefit from our integrated process designs that can produce multiple end products. Depending on the quantities and flexibility required, we offer the IMAP™ portfolio of solutions (Integrated Methanol and Ammonia Production) or the SynCOR Plus™ solution.

Our integrated process solutions enable any facility to produce multiple products without the often prohibitive cost of installing and operating a second plant, and they give you unprecedented agility, protection from market fluctuations and profit-making potential.

Integrated processes and multiple end products

Applications within this area

Purification

Having a well-functioning purification of the feedstock to the ammonia plant will have a great impact on the performance of downstream processes and their catalysts and it will contribute to a high on-stream factor of the facility.

Reforming

Our different reforming layouts can be tailor-made to meet the requirements of the client without compromising on reliability.

CO shift

Efficient CO conversion plays an important role in the operating cost of the ammonia plant.

Methanation

A well-functioning methanation section is vital for the optimal operation of the downstream synthesis section.

Synthesis

More than 65 years of experience with ammonia synthesis enables us to provide the best solutions for the ammonia industry.

N2O abatement

Topsoe’s solutions for N2O abatement will save you money on CO2 permit units, will eliminate the need to invest in more units and generate revenues when you sell your units.
