Intellectual Property India Publishes Patent Application for 'Ammonia Synthesis Plant For Partial-Load Operation Which Changes, And Method For Operating An Ammonia Synthesis Plant' Filed by Thyssenkrupp Uhde Gmbh; and Thyssenkrupp Ag

MUMBAI, India, March 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202637025619 A) filed by Thyssenkrupp Uhde Gmbh; and Thyssenkrupp Ag, Dortmund, Germany, on March 4, for 'ammonia synthesis plant for partial-load operation which changes, and method for operating an ammonia synthesis plant.'

Inventor(s) include Gorval, Evgeni; and Keil, Bernd.

The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an ammonia synthesis plant having a hydrogen device and a synthesis circuit, wherein the synthesis circuit has a conveying device, a converter and a first bypass line. The hydrogen device is designed to provide hydrogen. The conveying device is designed to cyclically convey a gas mixture, containing nitrogen, hydrogen and ammonia, in a synthesis circuit conveying direction, wherein the conveying device has a suction side and a pressure side. The converter is designed to catalytically convert nitrogen and hydrogen at least partially into ammonia, wherein the converter has an inlet and an outlet, wherein the inlet of the converter is fluidically connected to the pressure side of the conveying device and the outlet of the converter is fluidically connected to the suction side of the conveying device. The first bypass line is arranged from the suction side of the conveying device to the pressure side of the suction device parallel to the conveying device in the fluidically opposite direction and is designed for the stoppable return of a first partial stream of the gas mixture from the pressure side of the conveying device to the suction side of the conveying device, wherein the first bypass line has a cooling device which is designed to cool the first partial stream of the gas mixture. The first bypass line has a second bypass line, which is arranged parallel to the cooling device in the fluidically same direction, and which is designed for the stoppable guiding through of a second partial stream of the first partial stream in order to bypass the cooling device."

The patent application was internationally filed on Sept. 11, 2024, under International application No.PCT/EP2024/075336.
