Once you have picked a supplier, there are several choices when it comes to ammonia storage. For the lowest product price, you should consider a tank of at least 10,000 gallons (43,000 pounds of ammonia.) This allows you to purchase full 38,000-pound tanker trucks of ammonia to reduce your supply costs. One pound of ammonia yields 22.5 cubic feet of vapor or 45 cubic feet of dissociated ammonia (75% H2, 25% N2).

In most states, you must comply with these standards if you have more than 10,000 pounds of anhydrous ammonia on site. So, you need to make sure you comply with OSHA’s Process Safety Management (PSM) and EPA’s Risk Management Plan (RMP).

The second option is to keep below the 10,000-pound threshold by installing a 1,000 gallon (4,400-pound capacity) or a 2,000 gallon (8,800-pound capacity) storage tank. Pricing for ammonia into these tanks runs about 50% higher in the smaller quantities. Even with the lower inventory, you will need to comply with OSHA 1910.111 and any applicable state, city, or county laws. It is critical to check with local agencies to make sure you are in full compliance with these regulations.

Another option for smaller usages are ammonia cylinders, but if stored inside the factory, special containment cabinets are required. Check with your ammonia supplier for the details.

With regard to the installation, in most cases, you need to pour a foundation for the tank, provide electricity to the tank for a sidearm vaporizer (used to maintain pressure in the tank since you will be withdrawing ammonia vapor to the process) and provide piping from the tank to your process. Most suppliers can lease the tank and valves/attachments for a nominal monthly fee depending on your ammonia consumption. You can also add a telemetry unit that allows your supplier to monitor your tank level via an Internet site. You will need to install a water shower near the tank and have gas masks close to the tank. It is a good idea to provide a fence around the tank if your company does not have security. Your supplier should provide hazardous awareness training for ammonia. 热处理展-工业炉展-2019第二十届广州国际热处理、工业炉展览会-中国效果最好的热处理工业炉展--巨浪展览 —The 20th China(Guangzhou)Int’l Heat Treatment, Industrial Furnace Exhibition -Heat Treatment exhibition, Heat Treatment expo, 2019 Heat Treatment exhibition, 2019 Heat Treatment expo, China Heat Treatment exhibition, China Heat Treatment expo, Industrial Furnace exhibition, Industrial Furnace expo, 2019 Industrial Furnace exhibition, 2019 Industrial Furnace expo, China Industrial Furnace exhibition, China Industrial Furnace expo
