Poisoning: Ammonia has a strong pungent odor. Exposure to high concentrations of ammonia can cause respiratory tract burns, eye damage, and even suffocation and death.
Fire and Explosion: Liquid ammonia is highly flammable when exposed to open flames and can easily cause explosions, posing a huge threat to the surrounding environment and personnel.
Environmental Pollution: Ammonia leakage can pollute the air and water sources, causing long-term impacts on the ecological environment.
Based on different operation environments, appropriate ammonia detectors and protective devices should be equipped.
It is necessary to ensure that these devices are always in a standby state.
Wind vanes should be installed at the operation site to indicate the wind direction, facilitating the quick determination of the leakage direction.
The air supply devices of air compressors should be placed on the upwind side to ensure the supply of clean air.
The storage environment for ammonia must be cool and well-ventilated, and a dedicated warehouse should be set up.
The warehouse should be far away from ignition sources and heat sources, with the temperature controlled below 30°C.
Ammonia should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, halogens, and food chemicals.
Vehicles transporting ammonia must be marked with dangerous goods transportation signs.
Such vehicles should be equipped with satellite positioning devices with driving record functions.
Without permission from the public security organ, these vehicles are not allowed to enter areas where the passage of dangerous chemicals transport vehicles is restricted.
