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 Agriculture dominates: Approximately 80% of global ammonia consumption goes to nitrogen fertiliser production — primarily urea — that enables approximately half of all food production for the world's population. Industrial refrigeration critical:...
We might have heard about the word 'Ammonia', either in the classroom or while shopping for household items. This chemical element has numerous properties and is used extensively in multiple industries, especially agriculture. Around 90% of produced Ammonia is...
Key Highlights Designation: Ammonia is designated R-717 in the ASHRAE refrigerant classification system — a natural refrigerant that has been in commercial use since the 1870s. Latent heat: Ammonia's latent heat of vaporisation (~1,370 kJ/kg at 0°C) is 6–7 times...
Ammonia is a colorless gas that has a pungent odor. A variety of industries, such as agriculture, refrigeration, and fuel production, commonly utilize it. In this article, we will explore the various uses of ammonia, including its use as a cleaning product and as a...
Key Highlights Common form: Ammonia in cleaning products is typically ammonium hydroxide (liquor ammonia) at 5–28% concentration in water — the same chemical available industrially as liquor ammonia. Cleaning mechanism: Ammonia's alkalinity (pH 11–12) saponifies fats...
Key Highlights Composition: Ammonia (NH3) is made of nitrogen (82.35% by weight) and hydrogen (17.65% by weight) — one nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms. Nitrogen source: Atmospheric nitrogen (N2, which makes up 78% of air) is the unlimited raw material —...
Key Highlights Zero carbon combustion: Ammonia contains no carbon — combustion produces only nitrogen and water, delivering zero CO2 when produced from renewable energy (green ammonia). Practical storage: Liquid ammonia can be stored at just 8–10 bar pressure at...
Key Highlights TLV-TWA: The occupational exposure limit for ammonia in India aligns with the international TLV-TWA of 25 ppm — exposure above this level requires engineering controls and respiratory protection. IDLH threshold: 300 ppm is immediately dangerous to life...
Key Highlights Largest source: Coal combustion in power plants is the single largest anthropogenic source of SO2 globally, accounting for approximately 45–50% of human-caused emissions. Natural sources: Volcanic activity is the primary natural SO2 source, releasing...
