AMMONIA FLARES: INCINERATORS-OXIDIZERS. A PROVEN SAFE AND READILY USED METHOD FOR DISPOSING OF AMMONIA IN INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS.

Author(s) : SHEPHERD J. J.

Summary

A SAFE DISPOSAL METHOD FOR AMMONIA VAPOUR IS TO BREAK IT DOWN INTO ITS CONSTITUENT NITROGEN AND HYDROGEN. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY INCINERATION. THE FOLLOWING INCINERATION CAN BE MAINTAINED ONLY BY THE CONTINUING PRESENCE OF THE FLAME WHICH MUST, THEREFORE, BE CONTROLLED TO SUIT THE DISCHARGE RATE. THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES THE COMPONENTS OF A FLARE SYSTEM AND THEIR CONTROL. SUCH A SYSTEM FITTED TO THE RELIEF OR BLOWDOWN LINES OF A LARGE AMMONIA REFRIGERATION PLANT ENHANCES SAFETY, PROTECTS THE ENVIRONMENT AND AVOIDS THE NEED FOR COSTLY DISPOSAL OF BULK AMMONIA IN AN EMERGENCY.
