Feedstock for Ammonium Bisulfate

The production of ammonium bisulfate utilizes ammonia and sulfur trioxide as the major feedstock. The changes in the prices and availability of these raw materials affect the manufacturing of ammonium bisulfate.

The procurement of ammonia is driven by factors like raw material costs and availability, new production technologies, market demand, etc. The changes in prices and availability of its raw materials like natural gas (trade policies and geopolitical tensions impact its market stability and prices) impact its production costs. The usage of new production methods like electrolysis or methane pyrolysis reduces emissions but increases costs. The changes in its demand in agriculture, industrial refrigeration, chemical manufacturing, etc., further affect its supply and costs.

The sourcing of sulfur trioxide (another major feedstock used in ammonium bisulfate production) is affected by the price and availability of its raw materials like sulphur (factors like mining costs, geopolitical tensions, etc., effects procurement of sulphur). Its production involves high energy inputs for converting sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide, which affects its production costs. The fluctuations in its demand in downstream industries, including the production of sulfuric acid, detergents, fertilizers, dyes, and neutral detergents, affect its prices and availability.
 

Market Drivers for Ammonium Bisulfate

The ammonium bisulfate market is affected by its growing demand in industries like textiles, water treatment, and chemical manufacturing. Its utilization as a soil acidifier and fertilizer component fuels its demand in agricultural applications. Its utilization in the pharmaceutical industry as an antioxidant and stabilizer in drug formulations contributes to its market growth. The usage of advanced technology in production and application expands its applications. In the Asia-Pacific region, rapid industrialization and agricultural growth contribute to the demand for fertilizers and industrial processes. North American region is driven by its well-established agricultural sector, which makes it useful in fertilizer production and other industrial uses. European market sees demand because of its focus on sustainable practices and strict environmental regulations that favor its use in various industrial applications.

The CAPEX for an ammonium bisulfate manufacturing plant includes costs of corrosion-resistant equipment, injection lances, reaction duct or chamber (lined or alloy steel), feed systems with metering units, and storage tanks. It also includes the costs of pressurized ammonia storage tanks, diaphragm dosing pumps (PTFE linings), and sulfuric acid storage tanks (HDPE-lined steel). Crystallizers, filter presses or centrifuges, tray or rotary dryers, and screw conveyors, along with gas analyzers, PLC/SCADA control panels, cooling systems, and effluent neutralization units are also covered under CAPEX.

Its OPEX depends on its recovery from flue gas or production using fresh ammonia and sulfuric acid. In flue gas recovery systems, ammonia slip is already present and represents a minimal direct input cost. The synthetic method includes costs of raw material costs and utility expenses that come from running scrubbers, dryers, crystallizers, and filtration systems that use electricity and water. Acidic conditions require frequent servicing of pumps, filters, ductwork, and heat exchanger surfaces, along with wages for trained personnel that also come under OPEX.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report compris es a thorough value chain evaluation for Ammonium Bisulfate manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Ammonium Bisulfate manufacturing.

• From Flue Gas Denitrification systems: The feedstock for this process includes ammonia and sulfur trioxide.

The manufacturing process of ammonium bisulfate involves flue gas denitrification systems where it is produced as a by-product. In this process, excess ammonia reacts with sulfur trioxide in the presence of water vapor during Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) processes. The flue gas is cooled to solidify the ammonium bisulfate. The product is then separated and purified to get pure ammonium bisulfate as the final product.
 

Properties of Ammonium Bisulfate

Ammonium bisulfate has the molecular formula of (NH4)HSO4 and a molecular weight of 115.11 g/mol. It is a white, crystalline solid with a density of about 1.79 g/mL at 25 degree Celsius. It has a melting point of around 147 degree Celsius and a boiling point of 350 degree Celsius. It is highly soluble in water but practically insoluble in alcohol, acetone, and pyridine. It is hygroscopic and stable but incompatible with acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. It is used as a weaker alternative to sulfuric acid and is produced through the half-neutralization of sulfuric acid by ammonia. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in industries like agriculture, printing, electroplating, food, etc.
