Synthesis Gas (H₂+N₂)

Ammonia cracking produces 75% H₂ + 25% N₂ on demand on-site. Used as a protective atmosphere, reducing agent, and process gas across multiple industries.

Ammonia Cracker (H₂+N₂)

Why On-Site H₂+N₂?

On-Demand Production

Ammonia cracker produces H₂+N₂ from liquid ammonia stored on-site. No hydrogen tube trailers, cylinder deliveries, or scheduled refills needed.

High-Purity Output

Dissociated gas: 75% H₂ + 25% N₂ with residual NH₃ <10 ppm. Optional catalytic purifier achieves <1 ppm for demanding applications.

Most Economical H₂ Source

Liquid ammonia carries more hydrogen per liter than compressed H₂. 55% cost reduction vs. delivered bottled H₂/N₂ mixtures.

Compact Footprint

Single skid-mounted unit replaces multiple gas cylinder banks. Minimal floor space requirement for the production capacity.

How It Works

1

NH₃ Storage

Liquid ammonia tank

2

Vaporization

NH₃ vaporized to gas

3

Cracking

NH₃ → H₂+N₂ at 850°C

4

Purification

Remove residual NH₃

5

Distribution

Pipeline to process
