Radiant duty of the primary reforme

Radiant duty of the primary reformer furnace in the Purifier Process is only about 60%
whereas power requirement of the process air compressor is about 1.5 times more than
that in a conventional ammonia plant. Due to this unique combination, the oxygen
content of the gas turbine exhaust provides a good match with the requirement of
combustion air for the primary reformer furnace burners. The exhaust of the gas
turbine driver of the process air compressor is thus integrated with the primary
reformer furnace
