Ammonia Scrubber

APZEM Ammonia Scrubber is an advanced vertical packed bed wet scrubber designed specifically for the efficient removal of ammonia (NH₃) gas from industrial exhaust streams. The system operates by directing ammonia-laden air upward through a packed bed filled with high-efficiency PP or PVC packing media, while a specially formulated scrubbing liquid typically water or diluted sulfuric acid is uniformly sprayed downward from the top of the column. This counter-current flow maximizes gas–liquid contact surface area, enabling rapid absorption and neutralization of ammonia into the scrubbing liquid. As the gas rises, ammonia molecules are dissolved and converted into stable ammonium salts, ensuring the purified air meets stringent emission standards before release into the atmosphere. The vertical design ensures a compact footprint, making it ideal for plants with space constraints. Its packed bed configuration offers a high mass-transfer area, guaranteeing consistent performance even at high ammonia concentrations or fluctuating flow rates. APZEM Ammonia Scrubbers are widely used in sectors such as ammonia refrigeration plants, fertilizer units, cold storage facilities, chemical manufacturing, and process exhaust ventilation systems. The system can be fully customized with different packing types, mist eliminators, recirculation pumps, and scrubbing chemical options to suit specific industry requirements. With a robust construction, low pressure drop, and easy maintenance, APZEM’s Ammonia Scrubber provides a reliable, energy-efficient, and regulatory-compliant solution for controlling ammonia emissions. It supports sustainable industrial operations by ensuring clean air discharge, reducing odor issues, and protecting both worker safety and the surrounding environment.
