Ammonia was initially stored in pressurized systems, such as bullets and Horton spheres. Typically, spheres were used to store up to 2,000 tonnes. Today, atmospheric ammonia storage tanks are used to store up to 50,000 tonnes of ammonia at plant sites and distribution terminals. Low-pressure ammonia storage has been widely accepted for two reasons.
