Controlling Emissions
from Ammonia Exhaust

Client:

Closed Cell Foam Production line in North Carolina.

Background:

A new product line with Ammonia (NH3) in the waste stream.

Problem:

The waste process stream needed the NH3 (Ammonia) to be reduced by 99% using an acid.

Waste Description:

The contaminants included NH3 (Ammonia) emissions and particulate matter

Solution:

Air Clear manufactured a 5,200 SCFM dual spray with a packed bed scrubber system, to convert the NH3 (Ammonia) to a water soluble salt while capturing airborne particulate matter in the sump of the scrubber.

Process Equipment:

The process equipment consists of a 316 Stainless Steel vessel and piping, overlapped dual layer spray nozzles, packed bed, with a 6 foot wide spray nozzle.

The ammonia scrubber system unit has a redundant pump arrangement to ensure constant uninterrupted service. The PLC program was designed to allow for minimal user interface, one button on, one button off.
