Ammonia - Chemical of the Month

[@emmanuelo2545]

Will you guys do a refresher on this one please? I❤NH3

[@adriandiaz7690]

Very informative and this is great...thank you guys.... I'm on a hazmat team in Broward County and all this information is very helpful

[@dlsousa0919]

Very informative video guys, however, I have one concern. Fogging down the ammonia vapor with water is going to create large amounts, although diluted, of ammonium hydroxide. I don't think that we should treat the hazards that this liquid poses to surrounding responders as well as the environment. I certainly wouldn't want gallons of this running into a stormwater drain and into a local body of water. Sites should plan on what they would do to control this run-off and prevent it from getting into the environment.

I have not had any luck getting formal training for the hazmatIQ system through Federal Resources, does anyone out there have any contacts to help me out? Thanks

It is only flammable in concentrations of 16-25% in air.

[@maryhandleygunter7623]

How soon will vapors surround near by homes and neighborhoods

[@jordanrobertson7824]

It's non flammable for DOT because reaching the LEL outdoors is extremely unlikely. Indoors is another story.

[@youdodat2]

Great Job Gentlemen.

[@CGAZ66]

yupp LVL A suites and trained personnel . Ammonia is no joke. (Trivia question.... Liquid ammonia will shrink a dollar bill so it will look like monopoly money. Do you know why that is?

[@prp359]

Takes the water away?

[@TheSoloAsylum]

My wife make my money half it's size almost instantly.

[@toejam7606]

While you play around with your fancy charts, I will just go shut off the valve at the tank.

[@hkkhgffh3613]

Gosh we are fucked! Screamin runnin out!

[@maryhandleygunter7623]

An ammonia plant is being built basically a mile from my home with surrounding neighborhoods. I feel unsafe for the future.

[@TheSoloAsylum]

I don't get all the hype about ammonia, it tastes terrible.

[@frigate2831]

Ammonia is not flammable. just saying.

[@frigate2831]

Just to educate - we are talking about a gas. . OK NH3 does exist in a gas state. We can get it in a liquid at 25%. NH3 is not explosive. It is corrosive.

[@sevvy101]

In the right concentration, anhydrous ammonia is both flammable AND explosive. Just educating you Matt

[@1989Chrisc]

@@frigate2831 15 to 30% concentration in athmosphere, say in a confined space it is absolutely explosive and flammable. Just to educate

[@TheDty5584]

LEL......

[@johnpekkala6941]

There have been ideas to power jet engines with the stuff and also its cousine hydrazine is used as a very potent but also very toxic rocket fuel. Its just that the flammability range is quite narrow for ammonia compared to say gasoline and jet fuel but what i understand within that range ammonia can pack a serious punch.
