Q. What is use of ammonia cracker?

Answer

An ammonia cracker is used for the production of forming gas such as hydrogen and nitrogen in a cost effective way in a volume ratio of 3:1 and in a weight ratio of 14:3. However, nitrogen in the forming gas in the process of cracking is removed.Since ammonia comes in bottles or in an ammonia tank, the ammonia gas is pre-heated in a heat exchanger and vaporizer and then cracked in the main furnace unit.
