Qatar Fertiliser Company Anhydrous Liquid Ammonia

Qatar Fertilizer Company Anhydrous Liquid Ammonia is a chemical compound made of Nitrogen 82% and Hydrogen 18%. It is produced using Natural gas as the main feedstock. The other feeds required are Steam and Air. These feed materials undergo a series of reactions in the ammonia plant, before ammonia is produced in gaseous form. This is turned into liquid under pressure and cooling down.

Applications & Uses

Applications

Approximately 83% (as of 2004) of ammonia is used as fertilizers either as its salts, solutions or anhydrously. Ammonia is directly or indirectly the precursor to most nitrogen-containing compounds. Virtually all synthetic nitrogen compounds are derived from ammonia. An important derivative is nitric acid. Household ammonia is a solution of NH3 in water (ammonium hydroxide) used as a general purpose cleaner for many surfaces.
