Abstract

There is provided a system for the production of ammonia, the system comprising: a reservoir for liquid ammonia or water; a first vessel configured to receive gaseous nitrogen and hydrogen feedstocks, the first vessel comprising an ammonia Core process synthesis catalyst and a first material for storing ammonia, a second vessel adjacent and in direct thermal communication with the first vessel, the second vessel comprising a second material for storing ammonia or water, and being in fluid communication with the reservoir for liquid ammonia or water; a third vessel comprising a third material for storing ammonia and comprising an outlet for recovering ammonia; wherein the system has at least two operating modes, wherein: (i) in a first operating mode for retaining ammonia synthesised on the catalyst the first vessel is not in fluid communication with the third vessel, and (ii) in a second operating mode the first vessel is in fluid communication with the third vessel for passing ammonia to the third material.
