Ammonia Scrubbers

Ammonia Scrubbers are devices used to remove ammonia (NH3) from industrial exhaust gases or air streams. These scrubbers use a liquid solution, typically water or an acidic solution, to capture and neutralize ammonia, reducing harmful emissions and preventing environmental contamination.

Key Components:

Scrubbing Tower: A vertical chamber where the gas stream comes in contact with the scrubbing liquid.

Scrubbing Liquid: Usually water or an acidic solution like sulfuric acid to neutralize ammonia.

Gas Inlet: Where ammonia-laden gas enters the scrubber.

Gas Outlet: Where treated air exits the scrubber.

Spray Nozzles or Packed Bed: These help maximize contact between the gas and the scrubbing liquid.

Pump and Tank: Circulate the scrubbing liquid for continuous use.

Working Principle:

Ammonia-laden gases are passed through the scrubber, where they come into contact with the scrubbing liquid. The ammonia dissolves in the liquid and reacts, neutralizing or removing it. The cleaned gas is then released into the atmosphere.
