Horizontal Synthesis Converter

For conventional magnetite ammonia synthesis loops, KBR offers its proven horizontal ammonia synthesis converter. The converter contains two or three reaction stages, each with vertical downward flow in the magnetite catalyst beds. Intercoolers are provided between the catalyst beds for maximum conversion and heat recovery. The catalyst basket is easily removed from the converter shell for catalyst loading and unloading. The basket can be rolled out of the horizontal converter vessels on tracks, thus avoiding the need for scheduling and erecting a heavy and expensive crane for periodic maintenance.
