Anhydrous Ammonia (NH3)

Anhydrous Ammonia is a product with the chemical formula NH3, in either a liquid or gas state, that is stored, transported or contained in a pressure vessel under pressure and is used as a fertilizer.

Pressure vessels and related pressure piping that are used in the handling and storage of Anhydrous Ammonia must be designed, constructed, installed, altered, repaired and operated in accordance with the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Regulations set out by the Government of Saskatchewan.

Anyone who intends to construct, install, alter or repair an anhydrous ammonia storage and distribution plant must hold a valid contractor’s licence. Construction cannot begin on an anhydrous ammonia storage and distribution plant until a permit authorizing construction has been issued to the owner of the proposed plant.
