Configuration
The Thermal Dynamix dissociator uses a vertical retort configuration and is available in either electrically heated or, for units of 6,000 scfh or larger capacity, heated by natural gas.
Thermal Dynamix dissociators are typically air cooled. Supplemental water cooling of the process gas is available if the need exists for lower gas output temperature. Thermal Dynamix ammonia dissociators are usually configured to run with an internal system pressure of about 5 psi. We can build (and have built) high pressure systems with retorts designed to operate up to 30 psi but discourage high pressure systems unless there is no alternative. The primary reason not to go to a high pressure system is that the dissociation process is slowed under elevated pressure and the residual ammonia levels in a high pressure system are usually greater than those in a low pressure system. Another consequence associated with high pressure systems is the cost attendant to building a retort designed to constrain the high pressure in a high temperature environment.
