You find a publication from a research laboratory that identifies a new catalyst for ammonia synthesis. The article contains the following details about the process run in the author's lab:
The chemical reaction is N2 3H2 --> 2NH3
The reaction is exothermic
A fixed bed reactor is used with ruthenium catalyst on graphite support
The reactor is run at 430oC and 250 bar with space velocity of 8000 m3 m-3 h-1
At this temperature and pressure, the reactants and products are in the gas phase
The reactants are fed at flow rates of 400 lbmol/h H2 and 100 lbmol/h N2
The extent of reaction is 90 lbmol/h
You are considering replacing the current iron-oxide catalyst used in your ammonia synthesis plant with this newly discovered ruthenium-based catalyst. You plan to start your evaluation with a model in Aspen Plus and an economic analysis in APEA.
Based only on the information above from the literature, which project component would you select to map this reactor in APEA?
