Dynamic Studies ofSteam Methane Reformer (SMR) in Ammonia Plant

Mathematical modelingand simulation of Steam MethaneReformer(SMR)over sulfide
nickel catalyst on alumina support has been studied. It is consists of primary and
secondary reformers which is playan important role in the production of ammonia. This
study consists of chemical reaction kinetics; chemical reaction equation and rate
constants for a given catalyst; to develop a mathematical model for a steam reformer
incorporating the reaction kinetics; to study the behavior of the reactor for changes in
different variables such as feed rate, feed composition, temperature, etc.
