Short answer: Fertilizer plants use stainless and duplex for acid and urea service, carbon steel with lining for ammonia, abrasion-resistant steels for slurries, and galvanized or stainless for atmospheric storage, balancing corrosion, erosion and cost across the process train.
At a Glance
The Fertilizer Environment
Acids, ammonia and abrasive slurry attack the metal, so alloy choice is critical, with data in our Corrosion Resistance Guide and the process context in our Chemical Processing Guide.
Reactants and Pipes
Duplex and 316 resist acid and urea, while carbon steel handles ammonia with lining, detailed in our Duplex Stainless Supplier et Stainless Steel Supplier; piping is in our Piping and Pipeline Guide.
Pressure and Welding
Reactors and vessels need sound welds, with joining in our Welding Joining Guide and design in our Pressure Vessels Guide; nickel options are in our Nickel Alloy Supplier.
Standards and Sourcing
Process grades follow ASTM and EN rules, with checks in our Standards Comparison Guide; certification is in our Mill Test Certificate Guide and packing in our Export Packing Guide.
