Despite the fact that ammonia usage could potentially provide the solutions to overcome a wide variety of technical obstacles today, the danger of working with ammonia limits the number of situations in which it can be safely used. Therefore, the question is this:
The risk level of a substance is often closely related to its vapor pressure. The faster it evaporates, the more dangerous it is. The vapor pressure of liquid ammonia is 8 bar, whereas the vapor pressure of ammonia from AdAmmine is always below 1 bar at room temperature. Controlled ammonia release Ammonia can be released on-demand by controlled thermal desorption. Amminex has developed control strategies to ensure optimal and safe performance. As the ammonia is released from the AdAmmine, it leaves behind a porous structure allowing the ammonia from deeper within the AdAmmine block to easily find its way out. Two applications Once a safe and easy way of storing and releasing ammonia is available, several very interesting applications can be developed. Initially, Amminex has focused on two applications: NOx reductant delivery system for diesel vehicles and ammonia-based energy storage for fuel cell systems. The company's core technology can be applied to industry solutions or end-user applications where it is essential to safely and economically store ammonia for direct ammonia gas application or where ammonia is used as hydrogen carrier for hydrogen generation.  |
