To investigate the effect of varying load on the synthesis ammonia
the process of a large-scale ammonia synthesis plant is simulated with the process and operational parameters of the petrochemical company by ASPEN PLUS
and the operational characteristics on varying load conditions from 85% to 100% are analyzed. Thermal efficiency and exergy efficiency of the key equipment
such as heating-furnace
primary reformer and auxiliary boiler are evaluated
and reaction conversion ratio of the reactors is obtained. It is suggested that reducing the amount of input air to the heating-furnace and primary reformer and enlarging the area of the steam overheating coil in the convection part of the primary reformer can utilize energy efficiently. The curve and expression between energy consumption of the ammonia synthesis with load of 85% to 100% are fitted by Newton interpolation polynomial for synthesis ammonia output in the plant from 1 000 t/d to 1 500 t/d. Thus it is predicted that energy consumption of the synthesis ammonia approaches 36.707 GJ/t to 40.797 GJ/t
which agree well with the field data with a deviation less than 3%.
