Zusammenfassung:This paper will discuss and analyze the effect of chemical reactions number on the design and performance of the industrial secondary reformer reactor. The secondary reformer reactor is a large-scale unit in the Ammonia production plants. The secondary reformer reactor operation is adjusted to achieve the required stoichiometric ratio of Nitrogen and Hydrogen necessary for ammonia production. The Carbon Dioxide Reforming reaction equation in the catalyst bed of secondary reformer reactor has been investigated for two models A and B. The comparative study between the two models is carried out relative to the same operation conditions. The two models have been checked successfully against data available in the industrial secondary reformer reactor in the State Company of Fertilizers South Region in the Basra/Iraq. The theoretical results of model A are closer to the industrial plant data than model B.
