Ammonia Available in a variety of purities, including the higher purities needed to meet the quality requirements of metallurgical processes

Ammonia (NH 3) is normally available in cylinders and drums, although we can provide it in semi-bulk in some markets.

Packaged ammonia is used by a variety of industries for a wide range of applications. Typically this includes:

  • Chemicals: Neutralising acid constituents of crude oil during the refining process.

  • Power & Energy: Purification of smoke gas in coal fired or oil fired power plants. With the presence of ammonia in a reactor the nitrogen oxides are converted into nitrogen and water while passing the reactor. In combination with chlorine, ammonia is also used for water purification.

  • Food & Beverage: As a source of hydrogen for hydrogenation of oils and fats.

  • Mining & Metallurgy: Extraction of copper, nickel and molybdenum from their ores. Also used as a protective atmosphere for metal heat treatment. For this process ammonia is 'cracked' in a furnace to produce a reducing atmosphere of hydrogen and nitrogen.

  • Pharma & Biotechnology: Ammonia is used as a processing agent in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals.

  • Pulp & Paper: Substitute for calcium in the pulping of wood.

  • Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning: A natural refrigerant, often used in large industrial refrigeration systems. 
     
  • Rubber & Plastics: Ammonia is used in the rubber industry for stabilisation of raw latex to prevent coagulation during transportation and storage.

  • Electronics: High purity ammonia is used for electronic and semiconductor applications. 

Linde Engineering provides turnkey construction of many industrial plants, including large-scale ammonia production.
