Tackling industry challenges

Ammonia serves as a vital component in fertilisers and finds diverse applications across industries. Most ammonia plants are integrated within fertiliser plants. Ammonia acts as a refrigeration coolant, cleaning chemical, and intermediate in petrochemical production. At IMI we specialise in providing precision-engineered valves crucial for ammonia production.

Empowering process efficiency

Our valves enable regulator level control, compressor recycle, ammonia let down, steam conditioning, and venting. They offer precise control amidst high pressure, high pressure delta, high fluid velocity, extreme temperatures, and corrosive materials. Nitrogen-based fertilisers, the largest category, rely on ammonia.


Nitrogen and hydrogen react under high temperature and pressure to form ammonia, which is then used to produce nitrate fertilisers or mixed with carbon dioxide to create urea. Hence, ammonia plants are typically built alongside fertiliser plants. We address industry challenges by delivering high-quality valves that ensure efficient and reliable ammonia production in demanding conditions.
