Ammonia plant engineering and construction: safe handling of NH3 to guaranteed maximum efficiency and plant safety.

Author(s) : KRAUSS D., GEHRES M.

Summary

A technical application for ammonia plants is for nitrogen case-hardening processes. For this technology ammonia is used as an indispensable operating fluid supplied to hardening furnaces for creating a protective atmosphere. On one hand ammonia is classified as a liquid that is hazardous to water and on the other hand ammonia is both poisonous and explosive under certain conditions. In regard to this fact according to ATEX (Reg. 94/9/EU) ammonia belongs to Ex-Zone 2. The aim is to demonstrate to satisfy the highest degree of safety to support the mainly advantages of ammonia. We all know that the chemical substance ammonia is environmentally-friendly, along with this ammonia supply plants are put into practice according to a high engineering standard and take into strong consideration European and German guidelines.
