TN Accepts US Nitrogen Test Results

By Walter F. Roche Jr.

Tennessee environmental officials have accepted the results of recent performance tests at a Greene County chemical firm's anhydrous ammonia production plant which showed the firm met the standards set forth in its state permit.
In a two-page letter to US Nitrogen, Bryan Parker a Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation manager, wrote that his agency accepted the test results on carbon monoxide emissions which were performed April 14-15 by AMP Cherokee Environmental Solutions.
According to Parker's letter the tests were performed under four different sets of conditions and under each of those conditions carbon monoxide limits were met.
"The division agrees that US Nitrogen has fulfilled the performance test required" under its permit, the letter states.
"Based on this review, the division determined the report technically correct with regard to the test procedures employed," the letter states
He added that the tests also met the timeline requirements of its permit.
The letter notes that there are two ammonia production trains at the plant, each capable of producing 73 tons of ammonia over a 12 month period.
