FLOW PROCESS CHART OF NITRIC ACID

N2&O2 H2O O2

S- 1 Save N2 in Storage S-2 Save H2O in Storage S-3 Save O2 in Storage

T-1 Transfer O2 to mixer

I-1 I-2
Check the quality of N2 Check the quality of H2O
throw if not good
throw if not good if good Mix O2 and NH3
if good NH3 with ratio: 
OI-1 NH3 : O2
Bring N2 to liquid T-3

Transfer NO2
T-9 Transfer NH3 to Mixer T-10
 Into Absorption Tower

H2O O-6 Wait until the reaction occur : 

3NO2(g) + H2O(l) → 2HNO3 (aq) + NO(g)
If the reaction in the air the reaction will be : O-7 NO
