Catalytic steam reforming is used in the industrial synthesis of ammonia and methanol from natural gas or other feedstocks. A variety of refractory materials are required in the primary reformer, secondary reformer and waste heat boiler of ammonia plants and in the methanol reformer of methanol plants. Ceramic bed support media are required in the feed desulfurizer, secondary reformer, high and low temperature shift reactors, methanator and
dryers. In ammonia production, the hydrogen rich...
