Abstract
A method is disclosed for producing ammonia synthesis gas by splitting a methane stream, combusting a portion of the methane with steam and oxygen-enriched air, converting a second portion of the methane with steam in a reformation heated by the combustion products of the first portion and combining the two portions for the water gas shift reaction followed by adsorptive separation of contained carbon dioxide.
