Abstract:
    A process for ammonia and methanol co-production in a plant comprising a first primary reforming section (11) and a secondary reforming section (12) arranged in series, an ammonia synthesis section (13) and a methanol synthesis section (22), is distinguished by the fact that ammonia and methanol are produced in independent synthesis processes where the heat required for the reforming reaction in the methanol process is advantageously obtained by utilizing the high heat content present in the gas flow coming from the secondary reforming section (12) of the ammonia process.
