Abstract
Process and economic advantages are achieved by the integration of a Fischer Tropsch process for hydrocarbon liquids production as a retrofit in an installation for the production of ammonia fertilizer from fossil fuel derived syngas. Utilization of most of the CO and part of the H in the syngas stream during Fischer-Tropsch synthesis as the first step in the integrated process produces hydrocarbon products while the F-T effluent containing unreacted hydrogen gas at the necessary ratio of H /N is used in the second step of ammonia synthesis. The overall product slate as appropriate for maximum economic performance of the installation is thus achieved.
