Abstract: Method for controlling an ammonia plant, wherein the ammonia plant comprises an ammonia synthesis section with an ammonia converter and a hydrogen generation section connected to a hydrogen storage tank, the method includes controlling the amount of hydrogen stored or delivered to the ammonia synthesis section to maintain target ranges of: the amount of hydrogen contained in the hydrogen tank; the flow rate of hydrogen delivered to the ammonia synthesis section; the flow rate of feed gas fed to said ammonia converter.

Abstract: An integrated process for the synthesis of ammonia and nitric acid, including the production of hydrogen from electrolysis of water, is controlled by a selective switching between a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation, wherein in the first mode of operation ammonia is produced in excess and is stored in a suitable ammonia storage: in the second mode of operation the ammonia from said ammonia storage is used to provide an additional input of ammonia to the production of nitric acid: the switching between said first mode and second mode is based on the amount of power which is transferred to the electrolysis of water.

Abstract: A process for the synthesis of nitric acid comprising the steps of treating ammonia in presence of oxygen or air to a catalytic oxidation step to yield a combusted gas, subjecting the combusted gas to a catalytic decomposition step to yield a N2O depleted gas stream, subjecting the N2O depleted gas stream to a cooling step to yield a cooled stream and subjecting said cooled stream to an absorption step in presence of water to yield a nitric acid and a tail gas retaining NOx; the catalytic decomposition step is carried out at a temperature comprises between 450° C. and 700° C. on one or more iron zeolites catalyst deposited, coated, or coextruded onto a catalyst support provided with gas permeable channels.

Abstract: A reforming process comprising for production of a hydrogen-containing synthesis gas with a thermally integrated gas turbine engine wherein the hot exhaust gas of the gas turbine engine is the heat source for preheating one or more process streams of the reforming process.

Abstract: An acoustic treatment assembly includes a fluid passage and a first panel disposed within the fluid passage. Additionally, at least a portion of a fluid flow through the acoustic treatment assembly is configured to flow across a first micro-perforated surface of the first panel. Further, the first panel includes at least one module, and each module of the at least one module includes the first micro-perforated surface and a respective back surface offset from the first micro-perforated surface opposite the fluid flow across the first micro-perforated surface. The first micro-perforated surface and the back surface form a first cavity configured to promote resonance within a first frequency range of the fluid flow.
