The main concern of this project is to come out with a new approach of designing a microreactor which is specialized for ammonia synthesis. In designing this microreactor, it needs to consider several factors such as suitability of materials to fabricate it, basic components inside, relevant temperature and pressure required, stability and so on. As reactor used nowadays in industry in a large size of plant, require high cost in production and maintenance, thus this project major focused on scale it down which will be optimized the cost as well as easy to handle. Designing the microreactor should pass through several stages and needs to make more justifications to choose the best one and economically save. Autocad drawing has been applied in designing this microreactor as a way of engineering perspective to get the exact imaginations in all angles before proceed the actual fabrication. Several testings also being carried out to find the temperature as well as pressure for the gas inside the chamber and in estimating expected value of ammonia production. A new design concept of microreactor within the magnetic field is successfully invented which has been optimized for the cost, reduced maintenance, less complexity as well as easy to handle which is absolutely less time-consuming and also economically save.
