Apart from the obvious problem of corrosion, the main challenges in ammonium nitrate synthesis are improving energy-efficiency and meeting tighter pollution control standards. Here, Philippe Lion, of Kaltenbach-Thuring SA (Beauvais, France), describes how the solution preparation and effluent treatment sections of MNK's ammonium nitrate plant in Indonesia have been integrated to utilize reaction heat for condensate stripping.
Well known as a licensor a ammonium nitrate (AN) plant, with more than 40 references all around the world, Kaltenbach-Thuring (KT) offers variety of technologies for reducing the level of emissions of gaseous and liquid effluents to conform ...
