Ammonium Hydro ide, NH =*H with water quic"ly forms when applying Anhydrous Ammonia directly to soil, A large portion of the Ammonia is converted to Ammonium %NH =>', and will be bound to clay and organic matter particles. 9his application method is widespread and is lower cost versus applying a granular fertilizer to the soil.
"electi#e
+0. is a proven method of reducing N* emissions for compliance with ,-A standards in modern -ower -lants. Ammonia is sprayed into the flue gas ahead of a catalyst bed to react out * ides of Nitrogen %N* '. 9his technique is used by more than =## power generation facilities in the ;nited +tates alone. Ammonia is delivered, stored and pumped to the vaporizers where it becomes a pressurized gas for spraying into the flue gas. Ammonium Hydro ide, ammonia mi ed with water, can also be used but is less efficient.
$efrigeration
Ammonia is common in large refrigeration units due to its low cost and high energy efficiency as well as having negligible environmental impact. 6ood, beverage, and chemical companies can use many hundreds of tons of Ammonia for refrigeration in one location. <ue to the large amounts of Ammonia in storage, these systems require lea" detection for personnel protection and to notify ad:acent facilities and neighborhoods of a gas release.

+ensidyne has achieved the 6/ performance approval for their +ensAlert -lus series Ammonia sensors. 9he 6actory /utual %6/' approval is a certification that the sensor can detect low --/ Ammonia reliably and repeatedly within the specified response times and accuracy. +ensidyne offers four different range Ammonia sensors including a long2life version commonly used for process lea" detection. 6/ performance certification can have a favorable effect on facility hazard analysis for insurance purposes. At publishing, +ensidyne is the only manufacturer to achieve 6/ performance approval on their low --/ Ammonia sensors for gas detection systems.
