I'm not sure of the exact process, but it must be pretty straight
forward. A former landscaper I talked to was heading to the North Dakota oil
fields to help install micro LNG compressors at the wellheads. They are
capturing stranded NG which is being wasted and flared off. He told me some of
the micro LNG compressors have equipment with them to manufacture Anhydrous
Ammonia fertilizer on site. They use nitrogen from the air. It might be all
done in a cold liquid state since they need to seperate the Nitrogen too.
There is so much gas being burned off in North Dakota now that from
Space it looks like New York City at night. The gas is produced as a
by-product of oil but there is few pipelines yet built to handle it.
I'm sure a quick search on Anhydrous Ammonia production will reveal
what you want to know.

Dear Greg,
the major component of natural gas is methane. How does the fertilizer
industry separate out hydrogen from methane? The process must be
consuming a lot of energy.
