Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
IN A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING AMMONIA SYNTHESIS GAS IN WHICH IMPURE HYDROGEN-RICH FEED GAS STREAM UNDER PRESSURE IS COOLED, WHEREBY ITS IMPURITIES ARE AT LEAST PARTLY LIQUEFIED AND SEPARATED THEREFROM, A NITROGEN STREAM IS COOLED AND LIQUEFIED UNDER PRESSURE, THEN VAPORIZED INTO SAID PURIFIED HYDROGEN-RICH GAS STREAM, SAID LIQUID IMPURITIES ARE VAPORIZED AND WARMED AND SAID HYDROGEN-NITROGEN GASEOUS MIXTURE IS WARNED BY HEAT EXCHANGE WITH SAID IMPURE HYDROGEN-RICH GAS AND NITROGEN STREAMS, THE IMPROVEMENT OF COOLING AND LIQUEFYING SAID NITROGEN STREAM AT A PRESSURE LOWER THAN THE PRESSURE OF SAID PURIFIED HYDROGEN-RICH GAS STREAM, THEN COMPRESSING THE LIQUID NITROGEN TO A PRESSURE AT LEAST AS HIGH AS THAT OF SAID PURIFIED HYDROGEN-RICH GAS STREAM.
