Resumen

The aim of this work is to study the integration of the Reforer-Exchanger System into an ammonia plant of obsolete technology. By eliminating the Primary Reformer it is possible to lower energy consumption of the produced NH₃ current, which is of the order of 47.7 MMBTU/TM. A mathematical model was developed to evaluate the operation and to dimension the Reformer-Exchanger System. An economic study that the proposed technological change is a better option than to build a new plant under the current conditions.
