    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are for producing ammonia. The method has steps of combining hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas in a wellbore to produce ammonia, and extracting the ammonia from the wellbore. The apparatus has at least one production device for combining hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas to produce ammonia, the production device being configured to be disposed downhole in a wellbore for utilising conditions of temperature and pressure in the wellbore to facilitate the production of the ammonia. A method of processing fluid in a process of producing hydrogen or ammonia is exemplified having steps of performing electrolysis of brine or other electrolyte fluid in the wellbore to produce hydrogen gas, and injecting waste fluid from the electrolysis process into a geological formation of the subsurface.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure vessel, having: a reaction chamber (2) as a pressure space for the initiation and/or facilitation of chemical and/or physical pressure reactions of samples (P) accommodated in the reaction chamber (2); a fluid inlet (20) with a feed valve (21) which is adjustable between an open position, for the feed of a fluid, preferably a flushing gas, into the reaction chamber (2), and a closed position, for stopping the feed of the fluid; a fluid outlet (30) with a discharge valve (31), which is adjustable between an open position, for the discharge of a fluid out of the reaction chamber (2), and a closed position, for stopping the discharge of the fluid out of the reaction chamber (2); and an oxygen sensor (33) for detecting an oxygen content in the reaction chamber (2). The pressure vessel (1) furthermore has a control device which is configured to control the feed valve (21) and the discharge valve (31) on the basis of the oxygen content detected by the oxygen sensor (33), such that the reaction chamber (2) is flushed via the feed and discharge valves (21, 31) situated in the open position, and at least the discharge valve (31) switches from the open position into the closed position as soon as a predetermined oxygen content is undershot. The invention also relates to a corresponding method.
