In ammonia producing plant the N and H left unreacted are sent to recycled along with the more amount of N ,H why?

AT equilibrium,rate of F and B reaction are same.Does it include temp. also?

its true that more amount of N2 and H2 are sent to produce NH3 . but after the first time NH3 has formed (optimum quantity) it is removed quickly and more amt nitrogen and hydrogen are sent . (this is due to the fact that according to lechatliers principle the increase in conc. of reactants in the system shifts the equilibrium forward).

Note: the further addition of nitrogen and hydrogen is done nearly at the same temperture and so the relative yields are nearly same as the former.
