Ammonia grades to suit your industrial process
Ammonia grades available to you anywhere in the continental United-States
| Anhydrous ammonia | Ammonia solution or aqueous ammonia |
| Anhydrous ammonia refers to ammonia in its purest form: undiluted or without water. Yara supplies anhydrous ammonia as a compressed liquid solution. Ammonia is a colorless gas with a recognizable pungent smell. | Ammonia in a solution dissolved with water in different concentrations. The most common strength is 25% w/w. Ammonia solution is safer to use than anhydrous ammonia as most of the ammonia is dissolved. The presence of water greatly reduces the vapor pressure. |

Ammonia for NOx control
NOx control systems are required for most industrial and manufacturing plants. Ammonia solution is widely used in NOx control systems, largely because it is much more efficient than urea. Yara is also a world leader in SNCR systems with 200 installations at client sites worldwide, also reaching high level of NOx emissions reduction levels thanks to ammonium hydroxide.
