Ammonia is a common commodity in the fertilizer und chemical industry. In the hydrogen sector it is considered as promising candidate for hydrogen transport in a carbon-free world. Synthesis from CO2-free feedstocks like N2 from air and green hydrogen is a viable option The use as fuel for ships, large vehicles but also as hydrogen carrier for remote power generation and industrial hydrogen is straightforward. In this context, the need for efficient extraction (cracker) technology is obvious – we offer.

Pilot Plant – It’s all about Hydrogen Purity.
WS Reformer has achieved a significant milestone in small-scale reconversion of ammonia into pure hydrogen. On October, 1st the pilot plant, based on modular scalable, industrial components revealed hydrogen quality with less than 1ppm NH3. The new technologies significantly simplified the process.
Project leader Kartik Paghadal says: „Hundred – One – Zero. These are the ammonia levels in the gas between the individual process steps. While most people still speak about conversion rates of 99,9% in ammonia cracking, we clearly adress the purity challenge: Fuel cell grade hydrogen requires traces less than 0.1 ppm NH3 in hydrogen – that corresponds to 99,99997 % conversion !“
„Hundred“. The WSR technology for cracking is well established in steam reforming and allows to operate at high temperatures in order to achieve low ammonia levels of hundreds of ppm in the crack gas without the necessity of using expensive Ru-catalysts.
„One“. Together with our highly appreciated development partners from Hydrogen Mem-Tech, Norway we reached the one digit level in a relatively simple process scheme – essential for smale-scale plants.
„Zero.One“ purity level was demonstrated in the hydrogen product.

FLOX®-Cracker NH120: Industrial Use 100 kg/h NH3
The FLOX®-Cracker NH120 produces around 200 Nm³/h hydrogen in the crack-gas. That is good for numerous decentral use cases and fits to the exisiting ammonia supply chain: order today – get 500 kg and more tomorrow.
By the way, this type of cracker has got more than 1000h of operational hours. Given !
