Nitrous Oxide Factory Setup in THAILAND

Nitrous Oxide Plant

Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas or nitrous, is a colorless gas with a pleasant odor and taste that, when inhaled, induces insensitivity to pain, often accompanied by mild hysteria or laughter.
Setting up a Nitrous Oxide (N₂O) factory is a complex process that requires careful planning, market analysis, and technical expertise.
The production design process begins with heating ammonium nitrate (AN) to temperatures ranging from 250°C to 255°C. This process decomposes the ammonium nitrate, yielding N₂O, along with byproducts such as nitrogen gas (N₂) and water vapor, which are subsequently removed during purification.

Nitrous Oxide Production

We are setting up a nitrous oxide factory in Thailand, and here are the key pieces of equipment
used in its production, highlighting their functions, importance, and contributions to the overall efficiency and safety of the process.

thailand-N₂O- Factory

The decomposition reaction kinetics in the nitrous oxide production facility double with each 10°C (18°F) increase in temperature, or increase by a factor of 1.07 for every additional degree Celsius.

thailand-N₂O- Factory-1

To make nitrous oxide, a hot solution of ammonium nitrate and water is broken down by heat. The concentration of the solution is usually between 80% and 93%, and the temperature is between 250°C and 255°C.

thailand-N₂O- Factory-2

Proper control of the reaction in a nitrous oxide plant is crucial as it is sensitive. Allowing the temperature of ammonium nitrate to exceed a certain point prevents the formation of N2O.

The first water scrubber condenses the steam in the hot gas, while the mist separator separates entrained moisture and traces of ammonium nitrate. The caustic scrubber removes residual traces of ammonium nitrate, carbon dioxide, and other nitrogen oxides.

thailand-N₂O- Factory-4

A variety of reactions take place in an ammonium nitrate reactor being operated to produce nitrous oxide in a nitrous oxide factory. The pure ammonium nitrate salt melts at 169°C (337°F) and begins decomposing at 190°C (375°F).

Nitrogen gas is stored in a gas balloon, compressed using a compressor, dried in a dryer, and then cooled in a refrigerator until it becomes a liquid. After that, we transfer the liquid nitrous oxide to cryogenic containers for safe transportation to other locations.

The production of nitrous oxide relies on a series of specialized equipment, each playing a crucial role in ensuring the gas is produced safely and efficiently. From the thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrate in the reactor to the final storage in cryogenic tanks, each piece of equipment is integral to maintaining the quality, purity, and safety of the final product.
