Industrial Gases

Ammonia (NH₃)

Ammonia liquefied under pressure for industrial refrigeration, flue gas NOx removal, metal heat treatment and the chemical industry; grades 3.8 and 4.5 for demanding applications.

Product Description

Ammonia (NH₃) is a colourless gas with a pungent odour, transported in cylinders as a gas liquefied under pressure. Thanks to its high heat of vaporisation, it is an efficient refrigerant in industrial refrigeration systems (R717). It is used to remove nitrogen oxides from flue gases (SCR/SNCR), for nitriding metal surfaces and in protective atmospheres produced from dissociated ammonia. It can also be supplied in purity grades 3.8 and 4.5 for analytical and electronics applications.

Key Features

  • ✓High storage efficiency as a gas liquefied under pressure
  • ✓R717 refrigerant for industrial refrigeration systems
  • ✓Grades 3.8 and 4.5 for demanding applications (99.98% – 99.995%)
  • ✓Shipment in compliance with ADR rules and high-pressure safety standards

Usage Areas

Industrial refrigeration and cold storage (R717)
Flue gas NOx removal (SCR/SNCR)
Metal heat treatment: nitriding and protective atmospheres
Chemical industry and electronics/LED manufacturing

Supply and Storage Models

1. Pressurised Ammonia Cylinders

Ammonia is delivered in cylinders as a gas liquefied under pressure. The suitable cylinder type is defined together according to your consumption and how you draw the product (gas or liquid phase).

2. High Purity Ammonia

High-purity ammonia is supplied in purity grades 3.8 and 4.5 for analytical, electronics and research applications. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (CoA) is provided to the customer for every batch.

Safety Standard

Technical Warning and Safety Standard: Ammonia is a toxic and corrosive gas; inhalation or contact with eyes and skin can cause serious injury. Its pungent odour is noticeable even at low concentrations, but it should not be relied on as the only warning. At certain concentrations it can form flammable mixtures with air. Cylinders must be stored secured in well-ventilated areas away from heat sources; copper and copper-alloy equipment must not be used, and suitable personal protective equipment and an ammonia detector should be available in areas of use.
