Can we get the sufficient amount of ammonia in hydronitrogenation or hydrodesulferisation process so that we can condense the vapors and generate power from that?
The amount of a material produced from a process can be evaluated by calculating the yield of that material in that process. So, you may estimate the yield of NH3 produced to know its amount at the product side.
One should know the amount of nitrogen or sulphur dissolved in the crude. After the hydrogenation process, we can calculate the yield of NH3 by material balance.
Do you know the reactions undergoing in the reactor during refining process?
denitrification is more difficult than desulphurisation. best way is the measure nitrogen as elemental nitrogen in feed and product - do stoichometric balance of nitrogen converted. nitrogen converted in hydrogenation reactors ends up as ammonia.
regarding saurav question, please note, certain reaction processes are part of refining processes, like hydrogenation, cracking etc. the reactions vary as per the reaction process/ reactor.
In this link, they show the HDN reactions over Carbide and Sulfide catalysts. Depending on the catalyst some reactions are favor at the expense of others.
