THE TRANSPORTATION OF REFRIGERATED ANHYDROUS AMMONIA ON THE INLAND WATERWAYS

The carriage of refrigerated anhydrous ammonia by barge is a relatively new technique and has grown rapidly in the past several years. As the movement has grown many problems have been identified and solved, but others remain to be worked out. This paper attempts to trace the development of ammonia barging, presents an operating profile of a typical ammonia movement and identifies remaining problems.
