Facilities like CVEC commonly use two types of ammonia (NH₃) to reduce their nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions formed during operations: anhydrous and aqueous ammonia. The CVEC facility uses aqueous ammonia, which is safer to transport, poses fewer health hazards and, in the case of an incident, affects a smaller area than anhydrous ammonia. The CVEC team places the safety of the community and its workers first and all workers complete extensive ammonia safety training and are prepared with worst-case safety and communication plans.
