Ammonia is stored in pressurized tanks
Natural gas pipeline
Anhydrous ammonia, which contains 82 percent
nitrogen, is the most concentrated nitrogen fertilizer, as well as
the “basic” nitrogen product that manufacturers upgrade into other
nitrogen fertilizers such as urea and UAN solution. Because of its
high nitrogen content, it is often the most cost-effective nitrogen
fertilizer. A gas under ambient conditions but a liquid when
refrigerated and pressurized, ammonia requires special equipment and
technology to transport, store, and apply. It is applied by
injecting it into the subsoil, where it reverts to a gaseous state
and combines with the soil’s moisture to provide the essential
nitrogen nutrient.
CF Industries' Ammonia Production
is at its Donaldsonville, LA and
Medicine Hat, Alberta nitrogen complexes. The company’s ammonia
distribution network, composed of 20 ammonia terminals located
primarily in the U.S. Corn Belt, provides in-market availability for
customers during the spring and fall application seasons.
