AQUA AMMONIA
|
AQUA AMMONIA, aqueous ammonia and ammonium hydroxide are synonymous terms referring to a solution of ammonia in water. Aqua is a high purity solution produced using demineralized water and is suitable for applications that require low levels of trace minerals. This product is used in stack emission control systems to neutralize sulfur oxides from combustion of sulfurcontaining fuels and as a method of NOx control in both catalytic and non-catalytic applications. It is also used for pH control, nutrient for waste disposal systems and wood treating.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
• AQUA AMMONIA is used as a source of ammonia and is the preferred form for users who need to avoid the storage of the compressed gas, which is considered to be more hazardous.
• AQUA AMMONIA can be injected as a liquid into various process streams and quickly vaporized with the addition of heat into water vapor and gaseous ammonia. It also is used as a base to neutralize acidic conditions in various chemical processes.
TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE AND HANDLING
• AQUA AMMONIA is transported in tanker trucks suitable for hauling corrosive materials. The trailers are constructed of stainless steel since AQUA AMMONIA is corrosive to carbon steel.
• Storage containers must ALWAYS conform to all applicable requirements for the locale and generally have some type of vapor recovery system for the ammonia fumes. Tanks are most generally constructed of stainless steel or carbon steel with a non-corrosive liner.
• When handling, ALWAYS use approved personal protective equipment, gloves goggles, face shield, boots and water impervious clothing.
