家EconDev Menu氨 in 加尔维斯顿 County
氨 is one such gas that travels through the vast network of pipelines running throughout the county 加尔维斯顿 County. While ammonia is colorless, it emits a rather strong smell and is considered an extremely hazardous material by the United States. Its elemental compounds consist of one-part nitrogen and three-parts hydrogen. The compound is rather abundant in ocean environments, collecting in part as nitrogenous 浪费 from aquatic organisms. During its production lifecycle, it is usually an active ingredient either directly or indirectly within the pharmaceutical world.
Due to the hazardous nature of this gas, strict governmental standards for production, 存储, transportation have been put into place. In 2016, the USGS reported that 144 million metric tons of nitrogen (equivalent to 175 million metric tons of ammonia) were produced in plants worldwide. Eighty percent of that capacity was produced for the agricultural sector’s fertilization requirements. The largest single production market existed in China at 31.9% while the US produced 7.1% (4th). The production of ammonia itself is rather long and an example of that production cycle is given in Figure 1.
应用程序
- 食品、饮料 & 零售
- 氨 can be applied as an eco-friendly industrial refrigerant with similar efficiencies as other industrial freezing options.
- 政府 & 市
- 氨 can be combined with chlorine to provide chloramine. This product is used in similar capacities as chlorine but with better results in levels of general safety, taste and odor reduction.
- 金属加工 & 制造业
- Disassociated ammonia is used to form atmospheres for metal heat-treating processes such as nitriding and annealing.
- 能源 & Chemical; 主要的 Materials
- Plants in most sectors such as power, 浪费, industrial use ammonia in total DeNOx applications to lower the emission level of mono-nitrogen oxides in order to meet EPA standards.
- Fleet-Based Commercial Services
- 氨 can be used to reduce nitrogen oxide in diesel vehicles via diesel exhaust fluids.
- Food 制造业
- It can be used as a leavening agent and acidity regulator during food production
- It can also color caramel in food and beverage production.
