Design of a Calcium Ammonium Nitrate production plant

Abstract

In this work, the feasibility of building an ammonium nitrate production plant will be analysed. To do this we will divide work into 4 chapters. In the first it will be decided which product to make, in what amount, and where. Then it will be necessary to justify which process will be used, what does imply and if it can be improved. Equipment that will be used during the process must be designed, as well as estimate the required industrial services, equipment control or legislation. Finally, the economic viability of the plant and the amortization capacity of the necessary investments will be analysed.
