Ammonia Stripper

Ammonia Stripper

When you work with wastewater or groundwater, there are many types of pollutants that can contaminate the supply. Ammonia and a variety of other gases and compounds may be present in these waters, making them unusable for certain applications. We solve this challenge by providing ammonia strippers to remove ammonia and additional contaminants from industrial feedwater.

Industries and Applications

Ammonia is a gas made of nitrogen and hydrogen molecules which is commonly found naturally in substances such as rainwater and soil. In addition, some forms of the compound play a part in the manufacturing of drugs and cleaning products.

Despite its presence in nature and mainstream markets, concentrated forms of ammonia can be harmful to humans and animals in large amounts. As a result, many industrial applications require the removal of ammonia from feedwater and wastewater.

Whether it is used to make water supply safer for public consumption or to treat industrial feedwater, ammonia air stripping towers are a common method of pollutant removal. Ammonia strippers may be used to purify water in:

  • Municipal applications
  • Energy industry applications
  • Utility Applications

How Do Packed Ammonia Tower Air Strippers Work?

Most NH3 stripping towers operate by forcing air through the water supply and evaporating all the harmful gases or pollutants inside. The process of air stripping is fairly simple. Contaminated water is transferred to the tower, where the stream flows down through the packing. Meanwhile, a fan at the bottom of the tower pushes a clean air stream upward. The air stream picks up the pollutants, which then evaporate and flow to the top of the container. Finally, the decontaminated water moves out through the bottom.

Removing ammonia from a water supply requires a specific adjustment of temperature and pH level in the stripper before the process can begin. High pH and temperature usually equate to higher efficiency during the removal. The type of application and amount of water involved may impact the size of ammonia stripper necessary to deliver the greatest performance.
