    @    Diammonium phosphate (DAP) is produced from continuous flow of phosphoric acid (PA) and
         ammonia (A) solutions. PA+A ) DAP
    E IfA and PA flow rates increase,        rate of energy release   will   accelerate.
    @    Too much PA fed to reactor: degraded product but no major reaction hazards.
    Sl   Too much A fed to the reactor: unreacted A may enter the DAP storage tank. Residual (toxic)             A
         will be released into the work area.
