2029 Ammonia Analyzer

From Metrohm Process Analytics

Over 85% of globally manufactured ammonia (NH ) is used to 3

produce fertilizers for the agricultural sector, and since 2015 the global supply capability of NH has increased by more than 9%

3

(FAO). Increased use of fertilizers can cause environmental prob-lems, and there is a high demand to measure NH at all kinds 3

of locations. The majority of all online ammonia measurements are performed in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), as there can be heavy fines from authorities for exceeding discharge lim-its. Ammonia is also used in different industrial processes as a precursor for most nitrogen-containing compounds.

Because of its role in many different production and environmental processes, it is of vital importance to closely monitor the concentration. The 2029 Ammonia process analyzer from Metrohm Process Analytics is the most straightforward and easy-to-use tool to do so online.

About the Ammonia application

Ammonia is determined photometrical y based on the Berthelot method, measured at a wavelength of 650 nm. The analyzer is able to handle a wide range of ammonia concentrations, from µg/L to mg/L.
