This video presents a case of eliminating an ammonia leak through a weld defect on a nozzle of the liquid ammonia pipeline. A temporary solution was implemented using a custom-made clamp with ammonia-resistant rubber, which ensured safe operation until the scheduled plant shutdown.
It is important to highlight that clamp installation on ammonia lines is officially prohibited. However, at some plants this practice is occasionally applied — sometimes with success, but in other cases leading to serious incidents.
One such case is documented on UreaKnowHow.com:
