Ammonia Cracker Unit – Generate Hydrogen Gas up to 99.9% Purity Introduction

An Ammonia Cracker Unit is a highly efficient system designed to produce hydrogen gas by dissociating ammonia (NH₃) into hydrogen (H₂) and nitrogen (N₂) through a catalytic process. At AmsaAir Engineering Pvt. Ltd., we manufacture reliable and energy-efficient ammonia cracker systems tailored for industrial applications where pure and dry hydrogen gas is required.

How the Ammonia Cracker Unit Works

The working principle of an ammonia cracker involves passing ammonia gas over a nickel-based catalyst at a temperature of around 850°C. The chemical reaction is simple:

2NH₃ → 3H₂ + N₂

The resulting gas mixture typically contains 75% hydrogen and 25% nitrogen, which can be further purified using hydrogen purifiers or molecular sieves if higher hydrogen purity is required.
