Episode 3 : Production of Synthesis Gas by Steam Methane Reforming
History of Synthesis Gas
In 1780, Felice Fontana discovered that combustible gas develops if water vapor is passed over carbon at temperatures over 500 °C. This CO and H2 containing gas was called water gas and mainly used for lighting purposes in the19th century.
As of the beginning of the 20th century, H2/CO-mixtures were used for syntheses of hydrocarbons and then, as a consequence, also called synthesis gas.
Haber and Bosch discovered the synthesis of ammonia from H2 and N2 in 1910 and the first industrial ammonia synthesis plant was commissioned in 1913.
The production of liquid hydrocarbons and oxygenates from syngas conversion over iron catalysts was discovered in 1923 by Fischer and Tropsch.
Much of the syngas conversion processes were being developed in Germany during the first and second world wars at a time when natural resources were becoming scare and alternative routes for hydrogen production, ammonia synthesis, and transportation fuels were a necessity.
In 1943/44, this was applied for large-scale production of artificial fuels from synthesis gas in Germany.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Q.2 What is the principle which involve in the Production of Nitric Acid ?
Principle Involve in the Production of Nitric Acid:
a. Oxidation of Ammonia:
The process involves the Catalytic Oxidation of Ammonia Using Oxygen Contained
in the air as an oxidizing agent.
Air use in the process must be Dust free and the Oxidative reaction is carried out
at the Temperature of 920˚-940˚C and at the pressure of 100Psig. The catalyst
which is used is the alloy of Platinum and Rhodium in the ratio of :
Pt:Rh , 90:10
Platinum is the specific catalyst and Rhodium acts as promoter.
The reaction which takes place in this step is
4NH3 + 5O2 4NO + 6H2O
This process is carried out in a reactor made up of Stainless Steel -316.
b. Oxidation of Nitric Oxide.
4. Taha Siddiqui E11-PG08 Page 3

Catalyst: Pt-Rh Alloy.
Q.4 Give A Detail Process Description of the Production of Nitric Acid.
Process Description of the Production of Nitric Acid:
1. Vaporization of Ammonia:
Liquid Ammonia which has -33.3˚C boiling point is vaporized continuously and
uniformly in the unit called Vaporizer Unit. Heat needed for Vaporization is get from
Steam. After giving its heat to Liquid Ammonia steam gets converted into liquid
called Steam Condensate.
Steam Condensate is connected to Absorption Column Feed Tank. Steam Condensate
is divided into TWO parts:
Part (a) is sent to Waste Heat Boiler (W.H.B) where it is converted into steam
at 150 psi.
Part (b) is fed at the top of absorption Column via Cooler Condenser.
Now, Gaseous Ammonia emerging from the vaporizer should be kept at the temperature
less than 200˚C.
Reason: The temperature should not be allowed to escalate because the construction
material of gas transmission line which is Iron has the nature to catalyze the
decomposition of NH3 into N2 and H2. Hence Loss of Raw material will take Place.
5. Taha Siddiqui E11-PG08 Page 4
Gaseous Ammonia is Enrouted to Gaseous mixture via Ammonia Solenoid Valve and
the Ammonia Feeder.
2. Air Compression:
Air Contain 79% by Volume of Nitrogen and 21% volume of Oxygen. It is drawn
from Air through the Air Intake Filter. The Filtered air is compressed in a power
recovery compressor to a pressure of 100 Psig.
The power Recovery Compressor is coupled with an expander turbine operated by
reheated Tail gas. Compressed air further filters through another air filter to ensure
complete removal of dust from it. The dust free compressed air then heated in an Air
Heater. It gets heated against the draft of hot gaseous product coming out of the
reactor.
The heated air is divided into TWO parts:
The major part of the air also called primary air at the temperature of 205˚-
230˚C is directed to the gaseous Mixture.
The second minor part is cooled to 20˚-25˚C is Called Bleaching or
Secondary air is passed through absorption Column via Solenoid Valve and
introduce at the bottom of absorption Column.
3. The Salient Features of Construction and Working of Ostwald’s
Converter: OR
Operational and Constructional Profile of Ostwald’s Converter:
Ammonia Gas from the Gas Feeder is mixed with air which is compressed at 100Psig
and at the temperature of 205˚-230˚C. The composition of Air-NH3 is extremely
critical as it can lead into an explosion.
Composition: At 18˚C
NH3 27-16%
Air 73-84% Explosive.
At 950˚C
NH3 11.5-12%
Air 88.5-88% Explosive
The converter is therefore operated at 10.6% Ammonia and 89.4% Air. This gaseous
mixture is at a temperature of 205˚-230˚C.
6. Taha Siddiqui E11-PG08 Page 5
Reaction Occurring in Ostwald’s Converter:
a. 4NH3 + 5O2 4NO + 6H2O
b. 2NH3 + 2O2 N2O + 6H2O
c. 4NH3 + 3O2 2N2 + 6H2O
d. 4NH3 + 6NO 5N2 + 6H2O
The Reaction occurring in step (a) is a most desirable reaction, where NH3 is converted
into NO. The reaction (b) and (c) lower the yield of NO as Ammonia gets converted into
N2O and N2 respectively. In the reaction (d) NH3 as well as NO , both are lost forming
Nitrogen.
It is therefore necessary to suppress the reaction (b), (c) and (d).
Catalyst:
It is observed that Platinum metal has high tendency and specificity for
reaction (a) and therefore use as a catalyst. In the presence of Pt , 90-95% NH3 gets
converted into NO.
Pt used as Catalyst is alloyed with Rhodium in a weight ratio of 90:10 to achieve the
following objectives:
i. By Alloying , the tensile strength of catalyst Gauze increase.
ii. The alloy has Higher Ductility.
iii. Rhodium also acts as promoter to some extent.
The Pt-Rh alloy is drawn into silk-fine Wire of 0.003 Inch diameter. The wire is
converted into gauze of 80 meshes.
About 15 to 20 pieces of Pt-Rh gauzes are stacked and placed in Catalyst cylinder. The
catalyst cylinder is made up of steel and has the dimension 12 X 8 inches ; 12 inches
length and 8 inch diameter. In some cases 30 pieces of gauzes are packed in the catalyst
cylinder.
The Ostwald’s converter used for oxidation of NH3 to Nitric Oxide is made up of
Stainless Steel-316. The gaseous mixture which enters into the converter is at a
temperature of 205˚-230˚C and pressure of 100psig.
Temperature:
The First Gauze of the stack of catalyst is heated to a temperature of 700˚-800˚C to
initiate the NH3 oxidation Process.
4NH3 + 5O2 700˚-800˚C
5NO +6H20
The NH3 oxidation process is exothermic (ΔH= -416Kcal/mol) and heat evolved in this
process is capable of maintaining a temperature of 920˚-950˚C in the Converter.
The reaction of NH3 proceeds un-interrupted due to evolution of heat. The overheating
of the converter is avoided by providing converter with a cooling Casket and most
appropriate temperature is maintained.
Material of Construction of Converter is Stainless Steel-316.
7. Taha Siddiqui E11-PG08 Page 6
Pressure:
4NH3+5O2 4NO +6H2O
The reaction involved suggests that process should be carried out at a pressure less than
atmospheric pressure. However the actual pressure is 7-5 atm to achieve the following
advantages:
a) At higher pressure more NH3 comes in contact with the surface of the catalyst and
hence the conversion of Ammonia to NO per unit volume is increased with the
increase in Pressure.
The space velocity of gaseous mixture is increase and contact time is decreased. The time
of contact has its significance as it is apparent from the following table:
Contact time (sec) of NH3-Air
mixture with catalyst
Percentage Formation of NO
0.28 seconds 82%
0.23 seconds 92 %
At 920˚-950˚C and 100psig
3x10-4
seconds
95-97%
b) At 100psig the concentration of HNO3 obtain is between 60-70% whereas it only
50-60% at 1 atm.
But the increase in operating pressure is accompanied with the following
DISADVANTAGES:
I. Loss of catalyst is more at 100psig than the lost at 1 atm.
II. 7% platinum is lost through sprout.
III. The working life of catalyst is shortened to 6-10 weeks.
IV. The wall thickness of converter as well as an absorption unit is needed to be increased
and hence the installation cost of the plant is increased.
Product Mixture:
The product mixture emerging out of converter contains 10-12% of NO, small quantity
of Unreacted Oxygen, Nitrogen and Water Vapors.
4. Processing of Gaseous Product Mixture:
Gaseous Mixture contain 10-12% NO at temperature of 920˚-950˚C enters into the Re
heater/ air heater and heat up tail gas and compressed dust free air to temperature of
205˚-230˚C.
The product mixture leaves the air heater at 800˚c and is directed to Waste Heat Boiler
where the heat of the stream of Gaseous Mixture is used for generation of steam of
100psig.
Steam produced in W.H.B is use for the vaporization of NH3 in the vaporizer.
8. Taha Siddiqui E11-PG08 Page 7
The Gaseous mixture cooled to 200˚-300˚C is passed through Platinum filter and
further cool to 20˚-30˚C in cooler condenser.
The cooled gaseous mixture is divided into TWO parts as follows:
The first part is introduced in the Absorption Unit at its bottom, where the unit
contains packing of Rasching Rings. Rings are placed above the acid trap.
The second part is introduced in the upper half of absorption Column.
Secondary Air from the air heater/re heater is introduced at the bottom of absorption column
to provide oxygen needed for oxidation. The secondary/Bleaching air temperature is 25˚C.
5. Construction and Working of Absorption Unit: OR
Working Profile of Absorption Unit:
1) Absorption unit is tall upright thick walled gas-Liquid absorption unit of the type of
Bubble and Cap.
2) The wall thickness of absorption unit is co-related to pressure.
3) The Absorption of NO2 in water is carried out in an absorption Column made up of
Stainless Steel-316.
4) The absorption column is provided with the cooling chest to keep the temperature of
the unit between 18˚C-20˚C.
5) The height of a column is such that nitric oxide is introduced into it gets converted
into nitric acid via NO2 and tail gas leaving at the top contains only traces of oxides of
Nitrogen.
6) Cold water for absorption of the oxides of nitrogen is introduced at the top whereas
gaseous stream containing NO is introduced at two different points in the absorption
unit.
7) At the bottom of absorption unit, an acid trap is provided which separates liquid from
gases and secondary air also called as bleaching air is introduced at this point at 25˚C.
8) The Bleaching air removes any NO or NO2 contain in HNO3. These gases impart
yellow color to HNO3. HNO3 is basically colorless compound.
9) The area above the acid trap is packed with Raschig rings.
10) The secondary air oxidizes nitric oxide into NO2 by providing O2.
Reaction in the Absorption Unit:-
Principle reaction:
2NO + O2 2NO2
Side reaction:
NO2 + NO N2O3
NO2 + NO2 (NO2)2 N2O4
11) Formation of NO2 (Mechanism) :
9. Taha Siddiqui E11-PG08 Page 8
The mechanism of the formation of NO2 is thought to be as follows:
NO + NO [NO2]2
[NO2]2 + O2 2NO2
Both reactions are reversible and exothermic.
The 2nd
step the dimeric NO is converted into NO2 is slower than the rate of preceding
reaction and hence it is the rate determining step.
The rate of oxidation of NO to NO2 can be increased 100 times using coke as catalyst.
However this catalyst demands that oxidation should be carried out in non-aqueous
medium since production of Nitric Acid involves absorption of NO2 into water hence
the reaction is carried out in the absence of any catalyst.
12) 90% of NO gets converted into NO2 is less than 100 second provided the gaseous
mixture containing NO has 10% of NO and 8% of oxygen from secondary air is kept at
18˚C.
13) Formation of Nitric Acid takes place through series of following reaction:
Reaction in Absorption Unit:
i. 2NO2 + H2O HNO2 + HNO3
ii. N2O3 + H2O 2HNO2
iii. N2O4 + H2O HNO2 + HNO3
iv. HNO2 + NO2 HNO3+ H2O + NO
14) The cycle of conversion of NO in NO2 and subsequently into HNO3 and continues as
the gaseous mixture moves upward in the unit.
15) The contents of Nitric oxide progressively will reduce to almost negligible as gaseous
mixtures reaches at the top of the unit.
16) Ostwald’s process is carried out at a pressure of 100psig the concentration of HNO3
obtained at the bottom Absorption Column is 60-70%.
17) Tail Gas Leaving at the Top of Absorption Column contain chiefly traces of Oxides of
N2, NO, entrained Water and small quantity of Oxygen and traces of Oxides of Nitrogen.
Good Luck
