Ammonia gas detection system
That's a good idea. I am new to all of this, but when I do hear back from these vendors I plan to tell them the dimensions of the pit that house the tanks, the tank's contents, level, and capacity, the two main functions of the system (continuous monitoring and leakage detection), and I'll...- spencer1515

Ammonia gas detection system
Yes the invisible ammonia vapor is in those low level clouds for a bit, right? If this was to happen in the pit I have described it should be obvious not to go near it. Ammonia vapor itself will rise and go over my sensor housed at the top of the pit. That is the idea at least.- spencer1515

Ammonia gas detection system
Yes, my initial thought was to house the sensors at the top of the pits as it should rise. Also, I have seen where water vapor in the air mixes and brings a plume of that mix lower to the ground such as shvet's videos; thus, I am confused once again. Most likely I will house sensors right in the...- spencer1515

Ammonia gas detection system
Thanks Pierre. I have contacted a few vendors already, Draeger being one. I am looking to hear back from them today. I was wondering about the range I should be considering as different types of sensors monitor different levels. Obviously, if there was a major leak and the ppm was high we...- spencer1515

Ammonia gas detection system
Hello! I am an engineering intern who is working at a natural gas power plant this summer. One of my first projects is centered around finding a detection and alarm system for the plant's ammonia pits. The two aqueous ammonia tanks are each in their own rectangular concrete pits next to one...- spencer1515
