    Ammonia gas flows through a disassociator that heats it to the point
    where is breaks down to nitrogen and hydrogen then it is piped into
    the furnace. The theory is it is safer to store ammonia than
    hydrogen. I am not so certain about that as the ammonia will hurt
    you bad and possibly kill you if you get a lung full from a leak so
    in either case it is dangerous.
