Managing Partner of Jaysons Chemical Industries
Srujal Sharma is a Managing Partner at Jaysons Chemical Industries, a chemical manufacturing and logistics company which focuses on supply of ammonia products in the domestic and international markets since 1966.
Having 3+ years of experience as an ammonia expert, and as a project manager for more than 2 years prior to that, Srujal has the acumen to carve out the best solutions for ammonia in any industry.
Key Highlights Timeline: A large Haber-Bosch ammonia plant takes 4–6 years from concept to first production; smaller storage or blending facilities take 12–24 months. Key phases: Feasibility study → FEED → Environmental Clearance → Detailed engineering → Procurement →...
Key Highlights Boiling point: Ammonia boils at -33.3°C at atmospheric pressure — at ambient temperature it is a gas that must be compressed or cooled to become liquid. Two liquefaction methods: Compression (pressurising above vapour pressure at ambient temperature —...
Key Highlights Principle: Wet scrubbers neutralise ammonia gas by passing it through water or dilute acid solution — ammonia dissolves due to its high water solubility (480 g/L) and reacts with acid to form non-volatile ammonium salts. Best scrubbing medium: Dilute...
Key Highlights Same product, different names: Ammonium hydroxide, ammonia solution, and liquor ammonia are different names for the same material — aqueous ammonia at various concentrations — used in different commercial and technical contexts. Concentration matters:...
Key Highlights PCB and electronics: Liquor ammonia is the core reagent in alkaline copper etching for printed circuit board manufacturing — one of the highest-precision industrial applications of ammonia solution. Food additive E527: Ammonium hydroxide is an approved...
Key Highlights 100% purity, pressure required: Anhydrous ammonia is pure NH3 with no water — stored as a liquefied gas under pressure (approximately 8-11 bar at ambient Indian temperatures), fundamentally different from liquor ammonia solution. PESO compliance...
Key Highlights Fundamentally different products: Liquor ammonia is an aqueous solution (20-30% NH3 dissolved in water); liquid ammonia is pure anhydrous NH3 condensed to liquid form under pressure — the two share a name but have very different properties and...
Key Highlights Highest nitrogen density: Anhydrous ammonia contains 82% nitrogen by weight — more than any other commercial fertilizer material, making it the most nitrogen-efficient option per tonne transported and applied. Cost-effective: On a delivered...
Ammonia, denoted by the chemical formula NH3, is a chemical compound comprising nitrogen and hydrogen atoms. This colorless gas is known for its strong, pungent odor and is utilized in various commercial and household applications, making it an incredibly important...
