  • Publication number: 20240359982
    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.
