Problem Statements
• Fossil fuels, central to the world's energy needs,
drive economic development but their extraction,
processing, and combustion contribute to
environmental harm, leading to global warming and
adverse economic impacts. Transitioning to
sustainable energy sources is crucial for mitigating
these effects.
• High pressure used in separator. Low pressure in
adsorber is maintained to favor the Separation of
ammonia.
Past Data Analysis
Page 05
Capacity
• We have Selected the Capacity of
150MTD
• Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park has
400MWh of capacity.
• Each ton of Ammonia Production
Required 9-10 MW of Electricity

Objectives
Design an innovative ammonia synthesis
loop incorporating adsorber instead of
separator, aiming for enhances efficiency
01
Optimal Design of multiple stage Reactor ,
adsorber and heat exchangers for maximum
conversion
02
We are capturing ammonia using metal
halides because it will be economical and
efficient compared to the separator.
03
Perform Economic and Energy Analysis to
visualize the efficiency of the system
03
Page 03
Methodology
We use it because we get:
• Cost efficiency.
• Use less pressure
• Overall efficient.
• More production.
• Less energy consumption.
