At its core, the production of ammonia involves the combination of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas. This reaction takes place in a high-pressure vessel known as the synthesis reactor. The first step in the flow diagram is the preparation of the two main feedstocks: nitrogen and hydrogen. These gases are typically obtained from various sources ...
