Nitrogen fertilizers
Anhydrous Ammonia
NH₃ — 99.6% min
The most concentrated nitrogen there is at 82 percent, and the feedstock from which most of the rest of this catalogue is manufactured. Applied directly, it is injected below the soil surface, where it binds to soil moisture and stays put.
It is also a toxic, liquefied gas under pressure. Handling it needs dedicated pressure equipment, trained personnel and a facility that is licensed for it. We supply it only where the receiving site is properly equipped, and we will say so plainly if it is not.
