Liquid Ammonium Sulfate
What is Liquid Ammonium Sulfate?
Liquid Ammonium Sulfate (LAS) is an odorless, clear, yellow to amber colored liquid. It’s most often used in municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment for disinfection as a source of ammonia in chlorination.
Are there additional concerns for LAS storage?
Though temperature is not a primary concern when storing Liquid Ammonium Sulfate, this chemical should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from moisture and incompatible substances. Our experts recommend that tanks be constructed of Linear or Crosslink Polyethylene, either singular or double walled. Additionally, we may recommend specific accessories for your storage solution, such as proper venting, fittings, manways, joints, and secondary containment.

Common Industries
LAS is a primary component of a variety of industries, including those listed below.
Water & Wastewater Treatment
Liquid Ammonium Sulfate is most often used in municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment for disinfection as a source of ammonia in chlorination.
Agriculture
Additionally, agriculture industries use LAS as a fertilizer to provide nitrogen and sulfur to crops.
Textiles
Utilized to improve flame-resistance, LAS reduces the flammability of textiles.

The Assmann Way
The Assmann difference is in the process. Assmann keeps quality first and failure far out of mind.
Uniform Wall Thickness
Uniform wall thickness provides better structural integrity compared to other tanks on the market. Because of its unified durability throughout, Assmann storage solutions are less susceptible to tears and spills.
Air Cooling
Air cooling eliminates a process related stress in rotomolding, where water cooling shocks the plastic and causes an abrupt stop to the curing process. Assmann is the only manufacturer who uses non-shielded molds with low temperature heat and gradual air cooling to ensure reliability that lasts.
Specific Gravity
Using a 1.9 rated tank gives additional wall thickness to help extend the lifespan of the storage tank. Assmann offers 1.9 rated storage tanks in either crosslink or linear polyethylene. For storing Liquid Ammonium Sulfate, we recommend crosslink polyethylene.
Venting
Under-venting is one of the most common causes for tank failure. When filling and draining tanks, it’s important to keep the tank from vacuum and pressure exposure. A vent two times the size of your largest inlet is required to avoid pressurization. Sometimes a larger vent is necessary when tanks are pneumatically filled. Assmann offers a variety of venting options in multiple sizes and configurations.
