Ammonia
Hydrogen cyanide in amine systems
Mass transfer rate-based simulation has been used to study hydrogen cyanide ingress and accumulation in amine systems in unprecedented detail. In this article, the chemistry, prevention and possible mitigation using water washing arrangements and reflux purging are discussed quantitatively.
Distillation of a mixture containing CO2, CH4 and H2—Part 1
This article describes a method for the simultaneous separation of a mixture containing hydrogen, methane and carbon dioxide, which may result from certain shifted synthesis gas (syngas) mixtures.

SwitcH2, CorPower Ocean partner on wave-powered green ammonia
SwitcH2 is partnering with CorPower Ocean to deliver a unique industrial scale floating green ammonia production facility partially powered by wave energy. SwitcH2’s NH3-FPSO unit involves the use of a new built vessel, nearly the size of a VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier), to support a 300-MW electrolysis plant on deck. The final output is green ammonia
Full-scale ammonia engine opens new chapter
MAN Energy Solutions has announced that the development of its liquid gas injection ammonia (ME-LGIA) engine has entered a new phase with the commencement of testing of a full-scale, two-stroke engine running on ammonia at its Research Centre Copenhagen (RCC).
Foundation stone laid for 1.2-MMtpy blue ammonia plant in Qatar
The facility consists of a 1.2-MMtpy ammonia production unit, along with an additional unit for CO2 injection and storage, with a capacity of 1.5 MMtpy. QatarEnergy will provide the new plant with more than 35 MW of electricity from the solar power plant currently being built in Mesaieed Industrial City, thereby becoming blue ammonia.
