Special challenges
Extreme diffusion
Application
The diffusion behaviour of ammonia is extreme, which means it can eventually pass through any conventional process fitting or elastomer seal. To avoid any long term leaks and unwanted outages, gas-tight process sealing and special safety configurations are therefore mandatory, which considerably restricts the choice of instrumentation. The high risk potential and tough environmental restrictions also make reliable control of the level absolutely necessary when handling ammonia.
