01

Process overview

The raw material is prepared and transformed under controlled conditions. The gas is then cooled, separated, purified, analysed, stored and prepared for loading.

  • Raw-material preparation
  • Controlled thermal decomposition
  • Cooling and separation
  • Purification
  • Analysis and release
  • Storage and loading
02
Reaction

NH₄NO₃ → N₂O + 2H₂O

Monitoring process parameters supports stable operation and control of final product composition.

03
Automation

Automated control and R&D collaboration

Gazmi states that core units use automated control systems and that equipment and technology are supported by its Beijing R&D headquarters. R&D work focuses on continuous process optimisation and regulatory developments.

Operating settings, comparative energy figures and proprietary data remain confidential or subject to supporting evidence.

Technical reference

A process described by the JECFA monograph

The FAO/JECFA INS 942 monograph describes nitrous oxide manufacture by controlled heating of ammonium nitrate followed by cooling, filtration and purification. This technical reference is not a site-specific Gazmi certification.
