    Nitrogen

    How hard is it to actually make? Has anyone ever gone through a factory to see how it's done?

    There was a guy up in the Peace that converted some kind of gas plant to an Nh3 plant and ran it for a short while till it broke him. Niels?

      I hear it’s a very complicated process. Air and natural gas are used to make anhydrous NH3. CO2 is a byproduct of making NH3. NH3 and CO2 are used to make liquid molten urea. Which is then used to make your nitrogen granules. Found a short video to explain it briefly. Hope the link works

        You can buy a Haber-Bosch process batch plant off Alibaba if you are brave, but you will need a pipeline tie in point for the fuel. Nat gas has quadrupled in price from a year ago.

          I don't think its a particularly complicated process - just takes some big expensive equipment. The raw materials are air and natural gas. I toured Belle Plain too many years ago to remember it well. The reaction chamber looks like a 5000 square foot brick building with the entire interior on fire. The fire burns over some high priced catalyst which somehow results in NH3 being produced. As someone else has already posted the NH3 either goes into storage or gets put together with the CO2 byproduct from combustion to make urea. When I toured Belle Plain there was actually a nitrate plant onsite as well but it was conspicuously missing from the plant layout diagram. Nitrate by itself is good for going "BOOM" but put it together with hot urea and you get 28-0-0.

            Everything is hard to make in Canada. Would you invest in a nitrogen plant in this country with our ESG retards running it?

            All the investment money had fled Canada. And more will go after Monday.
