Core Technology

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: 

"Could there be a safe way to store and release ammonia?"

Answer: " Yes. The Amminex way!"

Amminex can bind ammonia chemically in an ammoniated salt and compact it to achieve a very high density. Our product, AdAmmine, has a volumetric capacity similar to liquid ammonia.


The result is safety: It is a non-pressurized system at room temperature.

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.
