    Condenser
    The exit stream from the Low temperature Converter is sent into a condenser to
    remove the steam present which would be an additional excess load on the
    Absorber
    Within the condenser all the water is removed as condensate. Only water is
    removed and the exit stream from this goes to the Absorber

    Absorber
    Within the absorber Carbon dioxide is absorbed using Monoethanolamine. It is
    assumed that only Carbon dioxide is soluble in MEA solution. Solubility of other
    gases in MEA is assumed to be negligible. It is further obtained from literature
    that the CO2 content in the exit stream is 0.5% of the total gas stream.

    Methanator
    Within the Methanator Oxides of Carbon are made to react with Hydrogen in the
    presence of catalysts because oxides of carbon act as poisons for the catalysts in
    the Ammonia synthesis loop. CO and CO2 react with Hydrogen to form Methane
    and steam. Steam is removed by condensation and separated from the gaseous
    mixture going into the synthesis loop. Methane is an inert material in the
    synthesis loop.
