Challenges in the conversion to clean ammonia
VK Arora of KPI examines the technical and operational challenges of decarbonising legacy and new ammonia plants, drawing on a European case study of full-scale conversion supported by robust process and integration design. It also presents three US case studies exploring partial strategies, such as green hydrogen blending and oxygen enrichment, to reduce CO2 emissions and improve throughput. Together, these examples highlight a phased, cost-effective approach to decarbonisation, with blue hydrogen serving as a near-term transitional feedstock.
Revamping methanol plants for sustainable decarbonisation
Casale is specialised in revamping natural gas-based methanol plants. Decarbonisation of methanol plants is a goal for many producers achievable with a proper revamping strategy. Pietro Moreo of Casale discusses how Casale’s innovative technologies and extensive experience ensure reliable efficient capacity and performance enhancements together with CO2 emissions reduction tailored to meet revamping project targets.
Reforming furnace tube failure results in fire
This article describes an unusual tube failure incident which resulted in fire escaping the furnace box during normal operation of a hydrogen plant. Ken Wohlgeschaffen of Chevron Products Company shares the sequence of events leading up to the incident, the extent of damage caused by the incident, and most importantly the causes and lessons learned from this incident to prevent recurrence.
Waste to methanol to maritime fuel
The production of methanol from waste offers a groundbreaking solution for sustainable urban waste management as well as producing an alternative renewable fuel for maritime transport. Giacomo Rispoli, Andrea Angeletti and Alessia Borgogna of Nextchem provide an overview of the waste conversion process and its application.
Sustainable methanol: A multi-pathway fuel
No longer viewed as only a chemical feedstock, methanol is increasingly being regarded as a low-carbon energy carrier. Zinovia Skoufa of Johnson Matthey discusses the role of sustainable methanol as a multi-pathway fuel for the energy transition.
Flexible co-production of low carbon hydrogen and ammonia
By combining oxygen-blown Lurgi™ autothermal reforming (ATR) technology with Cryocap™ H2 carbon capture technology, Air Liquide offers an innovative plant configuration to meet the need for a central production facility offering flexible product diversification with hydrogen and ammonia at a scale that satisfies extensive decarbonisation targets.
High potassium uptake in specialty crops
Dr Karl Wyant, Nutrien’s Director of Agronomy, highlights the strong potassium demand of oil palm, potatoes and grapes.
Urea market on edge
