  • Publication number: 20240058780
    Abstract: An ammonia decomposition system includes: a reactor filled with a catalyst for a decomposition reaction where ammonia which is a raw material is decomposed into hydrogen and nitrogen; a diluent gas supply line for supplying a diluent gas having a lower ammonia concentration than the raw material, such that the diluent gas is mixed with the raw material before the raw material flows into the catalyst; and an ammonia combustor for burning part of the ammonia. The reactor includes a catalyst containing part for containing the catalyst. The reactor is internally divided into a first chamber supplied with the raw material, and a second chamber located downstream of the first chamber in a direction in which the raw material flows.
