step this process will require the use of carbon monoxide making the raw materials needed co h 2 o u2192 co 2 h 2 the limiting reagent in this process will be the co rather than consuming natural gas for a source of hydrogen existing industrial sources can be used for co input such as steel mills different electricity generators etc the proposed ammonia synthesis process when compared to current processes used doesn 39 t by itself generate any carbon oxides however for every two moles of ammonia synthesizes three moles of carbon monoxide is converted to a safer carbon oxide carbon dioxide in an example configuration disclosed herein it is proposed to have a high co 2 concentration to favor the first reaction not raising pressure excessively high the overall combined factors in an industrial setting as described above result in a lower energy profile for the proposed overall reaction a further advantage over conventional approaches used for the synthesis of both ammonia and urea is the thermal coupling of the two reactions in conventional approaches almost 60 of the ammonia produced internationally is converted to urea configurations herein propose to have both ammonia and urea synthesis in one factory as a thermocoupled process or reaction taking note that the wgs reaction ammonia reaction and urea reaction are effectively exothermic.
