The invention relates to a simplified method and to a corresponding device that can be used to supply waste heat from ammonia synthesis plants, in which the hydrogen required to produce the ammonia is produced with the aid of water electrolysis, for further application with the aid of low-pressure steam. In the method and the corresponding device, low-pressure steam at a temperature of less than 200 °C and with a pressure of 5 to 15 bar is generated from the waste heat of the ammonia synthesis plant, said steam being usable for further applications. By using low-pressure steam, significant economical advantages can be achieved in comparison to the conventional use of medium-pressure steam when the method is carried out using discontinuous power sources. The invention further relates to devices which are designed to carry out such methods and to plants which have a part for generating ammonia and a part for utilizing waste heat from the aforementioned part, said second part being formed from the specified device.

Abstract

The invention relates to the synthesis of urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide, wherein the hydrogen required for ammonia synthesis is obtained both by steam reforming of feed natural gas (grey hydrogen) and by electrolysis of water using electricity from renewable energy sources (green hydrogen). As the proportion of green hydrogen increases, the amount of carbon dioxide formed in the synthesis gas during steam reforming is no longer sufficient for the synthesis of urea. Therefore, flue gas, which is formed during the firing of the steam reformer and also contains carbon dioxide, is additionally used. After reducing the nitrogen content, the flue gas is fed into the reforming process. The carbon dioxide from the synthesis gas and the flue gas is combined, separated using conventional carbon dioxide scrubbing, and used for the synthesis of urea.

As the proportion of green hydrogen increases, the amount of carbon dioxide formed in the synthesis gas during steam reforming is no longer sufficient for the synthesis of urea. Therefore, flue gas, which is formed during the combustion of a fuel gas composed of fuel natural gas and combustion air and which also contains carbon dioxide, is additionally used. The oxygen formed during the electrolysis of water is introduced into the flue gas, and the modified flue gas is fed to a secondary reformer; and/or the fuel natural gas is combusted together with combustion air and the oxygen formed during electrolysis. Excess nitrogen is preferably separated from the synthesis gas before it is used for the synthesis of ammonia.
