Storage of Liquefied Anhydrous Ammonia

摘要

Advancements in storage tank concepts, materials, welding, and inspection provide owners with new storage solutions that can improve safety and maintenance of new facilities. This paper explores these advancements as well as relevant standards, both current and in development. A driver for material selection, welding, fabrication, and inspection is ammonia stress corrosion cracking (ASCC). This subject will also be explored including available solutions to reduce potential for ASCC.
