Tanner Industries
Inc. is a major supplier of anhydrous
ammonia and ammonium
hydroxide in the power industry as well as other
industrial applications where emissions must be controlled
and removed.
Our support includes
supplying anhydrous
ammonia and aqua
ammonia in tank truck and rail car quantities.
We can also provide ammonia storage
tanks and technical service and guidance
in terms of the safe storage and handling of the chemical
and the application of ammonia in your system.
Tanner Industries owns
and operates ammonia distribution
facilities throughout much of the United
States. We are committed to the highest quality
products and service in the industry and dedicated
to safety.
The term NOx, or nitrogen
oxides, refers to the reactive gases that are formed
through the combustion process. Nitrogen oxides are
formed when fuels such as coal, natural gas, or even
waste/trash are burned at high temperatures.
The 1990 amendments
to the Clean Air Act were created specifically to
address NOx emissions. These NOx emissions have been
directly associated with environmental issues including
acid rain, ground level ozone and atmospheric ozone
depletion.
Ammonia, both anhydrous
and aqua,
is injected in the DeNOx or de-nitrification process
to reduce the NOx and convert it into nitrogen and
water, allowing for a cleaner emission through the
stack.
The emissions control
systems that are primarily in use today to facilitate
the DeNOx process are Selective Catalytic Reduction;
commonly know as SCR, and Selective Non-Catalytic
Reduction, or SNCR.
The Selective Catalytic
Reduction process uses ammonia to reduce NOx by injecting
it into flue gases while passing over a catalyst.
Extremely high levels of NOx reduction, typically
around 90 percent are accomplished in this manner.
SCR systems are in use at power plants, high pressure
boiler refractory with exhaust, chemical manufacturing
plants, and some steel mills and crude oil refineries.
The Selective Non-Catalytic
Reduction process relies on ammonia injection into
hot flue gas streams to react with the NOx at high
temperatures. The NOx reduction varies with technologies
and fuels that are burned, but typically a 50-70 percent
reduction rate is achieved.
Tanner Industries is dedicated
to partnering with the industrial community to keep
our environment clean and safe. We can work closely
with your needs to fashion a storage
system with tank level monitoring and a
delivery schedule that will meet your demand and needs.
Our delivery fleet is
the finest in the ammonia distribution industry and
it is complimented with our highly trained and safety
dedicated drivers.
Safety
is the key to the successful operation of our business
and yours. Tanner Industries offers several levels
of ammonia safety training
that can be specifically tailored to your use and
operation. Our training
programs can be performed at your site
and scheduled with consideration to fit all your shift
changes.
We can also offer guidance
and support for Risk Management Programs, Process
Safety Management and Process Hazard Analysis to assist
your compliance and regulatory matters.
Tanner Industries has field
sales
and service representatives throughout
our distribution network to work directly with you
for all of your ammonia needs and questions. Our field
personnel are supported by our technical service staff
at our headquarters.
