Ammonia Storage Level Measurement Solutions
Vaporized ammonia is widely used in catalytic and non-catalytic reduction systems for emissions control. When injected into the flue gas stream, ammonia acts as a reducing agent to lower nitrogen oxide (NOₓ) emissions and can also improve electrostatic precipitator efficiency for particulate removal. Pure ammonia is typically stored in pressure vessels rated between 250 and 300 psig, while aqueous ammonia (70–80% water) is stored in tanks rated for 25–30 psig. Because of its lower concentration, aqueous ammonia requires three to four times more storage volume than pure ammonia.
The Challenge
Ammonia is a hazardous material, and accidental release of vaporized ammonia poses serious safety and environmental risks. For this reason, precise level measurement and reliable containment monitoring are critical for both operational safety and regulatory compliance. Factors such as vessel pressure, temperature variations, and tank design can all influence the choice of appropriate level control instrumentation.
