Abstract
To reduce the consumption of electricity, a portion of the deuterium-enriched water is stored during the winter while the remainder is used to produce hydrogen in the heavy water preparation plant. The stored deuterium-enriched water is then used in the summer with fresh water to produce hydrogen in the electrolyzer for delivery to the ammonia synthesizing plant. Surplus hydrogen is stored during the summer for subsequent use in the synthesizing plant during the next winter.
