AMMONIA PRODUCTION SYSTEMS INTEGRATION

Abstract

Conceptual designs of 11 mobile ammonia fuel production systems were prepared. These systems represent various combinations of total electric power to the system, mobility class, electrical power frequency, and cooling medium. This report presents a description of each of the 11 systems including weight, cost, and performance characteristics. These systems were designed for an ammonia production capability optimized primarily on the basis of total system power input and cost. Each subsystem was studied individually with several alternate processes considered. The results of each of the following subsystems are presented--amonia synthesis, nitrogen generation, hydrogen production, water purification, power conditioning, and control. The results of the system integration and packaging studies are also presented.
