When I was in Water Treatment We used it combined with CL2 to make CLO2 for a longer lasting Disinfectant.
The fumes from CLO2 are toxic and that's why they tell you to not mix Household Ammonia and Bleach because they create the CLO2 gas. As if the 2 chemicals separate aren't toxic enough and sometimes people will mix them together anyway and use the mix in a confined space.
I was at a Training Class in Cleburne, TX and the Water Treatment Plant had a small leak in the valve on the NH3 Storage Tank and even being outside the smell was VERY noticeable even when 20-30' away from the Tank.
I spent a year at a local fertilizer plant when I was young
Worked a lot with anhydrous. Even did custom application for far
This thread just brought back memories. I’m looking right now at a 50 year old scar on my wrist that was nothing more than a scratch that I got working on a tank. Took all summer for it to heal
I worked at a shipyard that repaired barges once upon a time. One had been transporting ammonia and had a crack in the interior hull that leaked into a wing tank. Just stepping over the access hatch nearly got to me. Pre OSHA days. Nasty stuff.
