Ammonia Plant Reduces Gas Consumption
Editor’s note: Material for this article was compiled by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as part of its Save Energy Now program. See the sidebar on p. 48 of this issue. As heavy consumers of steam and natural gas, ammonia plants are major energy users so any opportunity to reduce the gas bill can provide a critical boost to thin operating margins.
