Ammonia reforming

Improve plat operation

An efficient and reliable conversion of the feedstock has a huge impact on the economics of the plant. Our different reforming layouts can be tailor-made to meet the requirements of the client without compromising on reliability. Our well-known side fired reforming furnaces, specialized secondary reformer burners and high active reforming catalysts all contribute to improving the operation of the plant.

Convection reformer HTCR

Our Convection Reformer™ (HTCR) technology is a compact, high-efficiency heat exchange reformer that provides refinery operators with a straightforward, inexpensive way to meet the growing ...

Air-fired secondary reformer

Achieve stable operation with our proven secondary reformer design. Unlike the upstream tubular primary reformer, the secondary reformer is adiabatic, and the operating conditions are more ...

Oxygen-fired secondary reformer

The secondary oxygen reformer is much more compact than the primary reformer. Combustion of the process gas hydrocarbon in oxygen causes a temperature rise that provides heat for the reforming ...

Bayonet reformer (SMR-b)

Achieve efficient hydrogen production. Our bayonet reformer SMR-b combines the novel properties of convection and radiant heat transfer in one steam reformer.

Tubular radiant wall steam reformer

The radiant wall steam reformer consists of a number of catalyst tubes in a single line in one or two fired boxes with burners placed at the walls at several elevations.

SynCOR™ - Autothermal Reformer (ATR)

Achieve autothermal reforming at low steam-to-carbon ratio. Our SynCOR process not only offers the market’s lowest cost of ownership, it is also supported by 70 years of proven reliability and ...

SynCOR™ CTS burner

A high-performance burner for reliable reformer operation. With the CTS burner, the process gas is well mixed and evenly distributed before it enters into the target tile layer and the catalyst ...

Heat Exchange Reformer (HTER)

Maximize your reforming efficiency with heat-integrated HTER technology. The HTER is ideal for all synthesis gas production and in particular for hydrogen and ammonia production.

HTZR™ target tiles

Enhance reactor performance and achieve increased lifetime of the floor, reduced material deposition in the catalyst bed, longer runtime and reduced risk of critical disintegration of the tile ...

Rampart™ catalyst bed support structure

Ensure a strong and reliable bottom support system, which takes up the same or less space than conventional support systems and minimizes operational risks and the need for maintenance.

$Reactor refractory lining$

Reactor refractory lining

Optimize your reactor reliability with advanced refractory linings designed to keep the risk of gas penetration during operation at an absolute minimum.

FreeBurn™ for secondary reformers

Optimize ammonia production. FreeBurn ensures a perfectly homogeneous admission of the process air and a gas mixture which is uniform in both temperature and composition.

SynCOR Ammonia™

Ideal for grassroot plants. It introduces a previously unseen scaling factor for single-train ammonia plants, thanks to a steam-to-carbon ratio of just 0.6, reducing steam throughput by 80%

Two-step reformer based ammonia process

Our Low Energy Ammonia Process uses steam and air reforming and is applicable for both small and large-scale capacities up to 3500 MTPD of ammonia.

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.

Methanation

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

Synthesis

More than 80 years of experience with ammonia synthesis enables us to provide the best solutions for the ammonia industry.

CO₂ recovery
