AML Spherical
Liquid ammonia (AML) Spherical Tank
A liquid ammonia (AML) spherical tank is a specialized storage vessel designed to contain liquid ammonia in a spherical shape. These tanks are engineered to withstand high pressures and are constructed with safety features such as pressure relief valves and emergency venting systems. The spherical design maximizes the volume-to-surface area ratio, enabling efficient storage of liquid ammonia while minimizing material usage. Liquid ammonia spherical tanks find applications in various industries, including agriculture, refrigeration, chemical manufacturing, and water treatment, where liquid ammonia is used as a fertilizer, refrigerant, intermediate in chemical synthesis, or pH regulator.
Description
- High-Pressure Storage: Engineered to withstand high pressures, ensuring safe containment of liquid ammonia, typically stored under pressure to maintain its liquid state.
- Spherical Design: Maximizes the volume-to-surface area ratio, allowing for efficient storage of large quantities of liquid ammonia while minimizing material usage.
- Safety Features: Incorporate safety features such as pressure relief valves, emergency venting systems, and protective coatings to prevent accidents and ensure safe containment of the liquid ammonia.
- Versatile Applications:
- Agriculture: Used as a nitrogen-based fertilizer, liquid ammonia is applied directly to the soil or used in the production of ammonium nitrate fertilizers.
- Refrigeration: Liquid ammonia is employed as a refrigerant in industrial refrigeration systems, cold storage facilities, and air conditioning systems.
- Chemical Manufacturing: Serves as a key raw material or intermediate in the production of various chemicals, including fertilizers, explosives, plastics, and pharmaceuticals.
- Water Treatment: Utilized as a pH regulator in water treatment processes to adjust the alkalinity of water and control microbial growth.
