Technology company AmmPower Corp., Vancouver, said on Feb. 9 that fertilizer dealers and distributors can have their very own green anhydrous ammonia plant for $3-$3.5 million.
The company said its Independent Ammonia Making Machines (IAMM™) can make four metric tons of ammonia per day, and the company aims for the first units to be available by late third-quarter 2022. Ammpower said it is now in discussions with potential customers regarding placing orders and delivery times.
“The market has been extremely receptive to the concept of distributed ammonia production,” said Eric Kelley, AmmPower Director of Sales and Marketing, Agriculture. “The targeted pricing of the unit is intended to be disruptive and will represent an economically feasible solution for our intended customer base.”
“We are pleased with the response that our planned IAMM™ units are receiving,” said AmmPower CEO Gary Benninger. “The distributed production concept puts the control of the ammonia production closer to the end user and allows distributors and retailers to avoid the logistical supply problems that they so often encounter.”
AmmPower is currently completing assembly of its green ammonia synthesis demonstration unit, which will have a capacity or 50 kilograms per day (GM Nov. 5, 2021). It said this technology is scalable and will be used for the IAMM™ units.
In addition to the small ammonia plants aimed at the agriculture market, AmmPower has also recently announced plans for large green ammonia plants in Louisiana and Brazil (GM Feb. 4, p. 28; July 30, 2021).
