The present disclosure provides an
ammonia production
plant comprising an
ammonia converter
system comprising one or more catalytic beds, wherein an
ammonia synthesis gas comprises
hydrogen and
nitrogen is converted into a product
stream; a first high-pressure steam generator downstream of the ammonia converter
system, a first
heat exchanger, downstream of the high-pressure steam generator, configured for exchanging heat between the product
stream and the ammonia synthesis gas, wherein the
ammonia production plant further comprises a medium-pressure steam generator, configured to generate
medium pressure steam using heat recovered from the product
stream and / or from the ammonia synthesis gas, particularly wherein the medium-pressure steam generator is located downstream of the high-pressure steam generator and wherein the
plant comprises a medium-pressure steam network and / or a steam consuming unit, wherein the steam outlet of the medium-pressure steam generator is fluidly connected to the medium-pressure steam network and / or to the steam-consuming unit, particularly wherein the steam-consuming unit is a
steam reforming unit or process condensate stripping unit in a
hydrogen production
system of the
ammonia production plant. The present disclosure further provides a method to revamp an existing
ammonia production plant into an ammonia production plant according to the present disclosure, and to a method for operating an ammonia production plant.
