Air is fed into a plasma reactor which uses energetic electrons to activate the nitrogen and oxygen molecules causing them to react and make nitrogen oxides. These are then dissolved into water to make nitric acid, which is then chemically reduced using electrocatalysis to produce ammonia.
The reactor operates at atmospheric pressure and low temperature, allowing for flexible, intermittent operation in sync with renewable energy supply.
Our plasma reactors can both integrate with existing infrastructure and facilitate scalable and distributed production.
Plasma2X reactors can replace an Ostwald reactor in an Ammonium Nitrate plant whilst using much of the existing Balance of Plant. This significantly reduces the capital costs of conversion.
The modular nature of our reactors allows for easy scaling of production to meet changing demands, making it ideal for both large-scale production and local, decentralised operation.
