Anhydrous Ammonia — Industrial NH₃ Supply
Liquefied anhydrous ammonia (NH₃) is the backbone intermediate for urea synthesis, ammonium nitrate, nitric acid and caprolactam production. Our export grade meets 99.5% NH₃ minimum with oil content capped at 5 ppm — suitable for catalytic converters in downstream plants. Shipped in ISO tank containers, pressurized bullet tanks or bulk chemical tankers from 500 MT. FOB loading at nominated chemical terminal; CFR/CIF to industrial ports with ammonia handling infrastructure.

Transport & Safety
Ammonia is classified UN 1005, Class 2.3 (toxic gas). ISO tanks hold approximately 17–20 MT per unit; parcel sizes of 500–5,000 MT are typical for industrial buyers. Receiver terminal must hold valid ammonia storage licence and pressure-vessel inspection. HS 2814.10. We provide safety data sheet, COA and certificate of origin with each shipment. Lead time 12–25 days depending on tank availability and discharge port slot.
FAQ
What is the difference between anhydrous and aqueous ammonia?
Anhydrous ammonia is 99.5%+ pure NH₃ in liquid form under pressure. Aqueous ammonia (ammonium hydroxide, 25–30% NH₃) is a water solution used in water treatment and cleaning. We supply anhydrous grade for industrial synthesis; aqueous on enquiry.
Can ammonia be shipped to ports without dedicated ammonia terminals?
No — the discharge port must have pressurized storage and trained handling crew. We confirm terminal compatibility before quoting CFR/CIF. ISO tank delivery to an inland ISO depot is an alternative for smaller volumes.
What purity specification do urea plants require?
Most urea synthesis units accept ≥99.5% NH₃ with oil ≤10 ppm. Our export grade at 5 ppm oil max meets stricter catalytic cracker specifications without additional filtration.
