Latest Patents

The available information lists 1 patent for Teja Schmid McGuiness: “Method for Integrating Ammonia Cracking in a Steam Methane Reformer.” The invention describes retrofitting an existing steam methane reformer (SMR) to process ammonia. In the described configuration, an SMR may include a pre-reformer, a desulfurization unit, a furnace with multiple SMR tubes and burners, waste-heat recovery sections, a water-gas shift reactor, and a pressure swing adsorption unit.

The method includes taking the desulfurization unit and pre-reformer offline so that fluid does not flow through them during operation, then adding equipment to supply gaseous ammonia to the SMR tubes. This approach is intended to adapt existing plant equipment for ammonia cracking.
