Process for preparing ammonia and converter for making the same

摘要

Process for the preparation of ammonia, wherein three separate streams of fresh ammonia synthesis gas are used. The ammonia converter contains at least two catalyst beds connected in series. The second and third synthesis gas streams are passed through heat exchanger steps, where they are heated by effluent streams from the first catalyst bed. The preheated streams are mixed with the first synthesis gas stream and are fed to the first catalyst bed. The partly converted synthesis gas is used to heat the second and third stream and is fed to at least the second catalyst bed.
