Ammonia - Fertilizers

Ammonia/Fertilizers

Optimize processes and safeguard assets
for a competitive edge

In producing ammonia and ammonia-based fertilizers, the latest advances in applied chemistries can help you achieve productivity goals, protect key process equipment, ensure feedwater quality, and reduce energy and environmental costs.

GE Water & Process Technologies is ready to work with you on all of these fronts. Our customized chemical treatments protect heat exchangers, cooling towers, boilers, scrubbers, and storage vessels. Trusted formulations include water treatments to minimize fouling, scaling and corrosion, and to aid coagulation/flocculation. We also provide:


Corrosion inhibitor and antifoam solutions for amine scrubbers
Biocides for nitrifying and sulfate-reducing bacteria in ammonia cooling systems
Special treatment chemistries for high temperature and pressure (HTP) waste heat boilers
Molybdate- and phosphate-based corrosion inhibitors for use in liquid urea/ammonium nitrate (UAN) piping, storage, and transport systems

Advanced membrane systems from GE can:

Deliver high-quality feedwater (displacing costly demineralization systems)
Help pre-concentrate waste nitrate solutions to reduce energy use by evaporators
Reduce holding-pond volumes to mitigate environmental risk

Benefits to You
Optimized life and performance of critical equipment
Increased process uptime
Lower total cost of operation
