Can Honeywell Advanced Control help maximize plant production?
Yes. Honeywell’s solution can reduce the amount of methane slippage leaving the reformers, while at the same time maintaining control of the steam/carbon feed ratio. These capabilities, along with controlling excess oxygen, will increase the reformer efficiency and reduce the incremental cost of each tonne of ammonia produced. Balancing changes in urea production with changes in the upstream ammonia plant help reduce the necessity to vent valuable CO2, and will also lower production costs. Honeywell’s Advanced Controls provide a more stable operation close to multiple operating constraints, helping users to avoid upsets and reduce unexpected shutdowns.
