Design Criteria for Megammonia® Process

Single line ammonia process for capacities in excess of1 000 000 t/y

Reasonable vessel sizes - if practicable < 5 m Ø

Pipe sizes in line with international standards

Ammonia production at lower capital and operating cost

Excellent bankability due to reference position and low scale-up
