We are pleased to share the successful delivery of a new, 400+ton, large Ammonia converter and a BFW preheater for an existing ammonia plant in the USA, meant to replace an old 105-D converter and to 123-C exchanger of the M.W. Kellogg plant.
Replacing very old, outdated high-pressure equipment is a necessity for vintage ammonia plants in North America in order to reduce risks, improve long-term reliability and boost the performances.
The Casale converter design embeds highly innovative structural and technological features:
- Full-bore opening converter.
- Single-wall pressure vessel.
- "Cold-wall" pressure vessel design.
- 3-bed with two interchangers cartridge.
Benefits:
- better accessibility to the internal parts of the reactor;
- greater safety;
- higher performances;
- energy saving;
This projects marks the 13th replacement of an Ammonia Converter Pressure Vessel in North America,
