Abstract: Ammonia is produced in a reactor 22, 24, 246, 248, 250 or 252, in which pseudoisothermal conditions can be approached by convective cooling of a reaction zone of the reactor by positioning at least a portion of the reaction zone in indirect contact with a flow of hot gas such as exhaust gas 18 or preheated air. The hot gas 18 may be supplied from a fired heater, a boiler 10, a reformer 202, a process air preheat furnace, a gas turbine, or the like. The reactor converts a feed stream of a purge gas 12 or syngas to ammonia. The method may be implemented in a primary synthesis loop (as at 246, 248, 250, 252) or in a purge gas loop 12 of a new ammonia plant, or by retrofitting an existing ammonia plant. Cooperatively installed with a primary ammonia synthesis loop, the reactor increases total ammonia production.

Abstract: The disclosed apparatus includes a condensing chamber (CC) that maintain a volume of a condensate obtained from vapor emitting from a vessel, for example a reactor pressure vessel (RPV). The condensing chamber is connected to a reference leg (RL), a variable leg (VL) and a vapor or steam leg (SL). The reference leg (RL) connection provides a flow path for the CRD drive water system backfill to flow into the condensing chamber (CC) and overflow into the variable leg (VL). The excess backfill and/or condensate will be returned to the vessel, typically at a point below the liquid level within the vessel. Non-condensable gases will thereby be returned from the condensing chamber (CC) to the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) in a substantially continuous manner, thereby tending to prevent the introduction of non-condensable gas enriched liquid from the condensing chamber (CC) into the reference leg (RL) and improving the tolerance and reliability of the level measurements and/or reducing thermal stresses on the various condensing chamber (CC) connections.
